With a range of 450-500k, u will get a decent apartment in alimosho axis(dopemu,egbeda,iyana-ipaja). This axis holds d highest record of power supply in lagos mainland with an average of 12-20hours daily(not exaggerating),I didn't believe until I moved to that area. Good road network and tiled. U can make ur investigations.

I have lived in almost all part of mainland and from my personal experience festac,magodo and ikeja are the best place to stay on mainland.Surulere is good but too congested and not well planned unlike festac .

if I get u correctly r u saying surulere is safer than the other places I mentioned

Yes. Illupeju especially has a very high crime rate. Obanikoro and Palmgrove has those Shomolu and Bariga boys to contend with.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm thinking of relocating to Lagos, and I'd like some valuable information. I have already narrowed down my areas of interest to just four locales:

1. Ajao Estate
2. Gbagada
3. Surulere
4. Ikeja -not OPIC/Isheri North


I chose these areas because because of their relative centrality (if we could call it that), ease of access -I can easily navigate my way to the Island, Airport etc- and the possibility of getting relatively new homes. Alternative suggestions particularly around those areas are highly welcome. Now my questions are as follows:

Which would you recommend based on the following criteria:

1. Serenity
2. Electricity/Power -looking for relatively stable power o (not 24 hours before una go yab me cheesy grin) that I can supplement with gen/inverter
3. Possibility of securing new or relatively new homes (it doesn't make sense to fork over 5 times the value of what I'm paying where I'm located now for a similar build)
4. Security
5. Accessibility - Tarred, interlocked roads or well graded roads at the very least.
6. No flooding


Also, if you could also recommend specific estates, that would be really helpful.

Please note: I'm a bachelor looking to settle down sometime soon. So, proximity to good schools and all those other family-based decisions aren't a priority right now. Also, I'm not exactly interested in moving to the island for now. I no get strength to battle flooding issues lol.

I'm hoping this thread would also be beneficial to other folks with similar interests. Thank you.

Lalasticlala mynd44 lawyer... please help a brother out. Na beg i dey beg o. I no do shakara grin

Okay, posts like this aren't welcome on this thread. angry
Nazeren:
I hope you're not an igbo person looking for where to settle. Please, if you're igbo, the only settling you should be doing is the one that takes you out of Lagos and back to igbo land. Yes. I know some people will be bitter and angry when they see this but that's what the truth does to you.

That said, Opebi is bae. Awuse precisely.

grin grin If I carry you to Surulere my guy....you go love Lagosioooooooooooooooo.

Surulere is actually the most centralized, easy access to everywhere, good night life, lots of fun places to visit and security is ok.

Especially around Masha. And accommodation is not too expensive.
how much can I get a room and parlour self contain there pls?

Re: Where's The Best Place To Live In Lagos Mainland? by markpenk: 4:52pm On Jun 11, 2017
Thanks for this. Should be useful to others too. I've been so busy I had to put the house search on hold. So, it's still useful now. I have revised my areas of focus though... No more Ajao estate. That place has no.light.

cry... Removed Ajao from my list. There's zero power there. Found out about that when I was rigorously searching in January.
CollinsWeGlobe:
Do not accept any other place. the best place is Ajao estate...you see celebrities, make good friends and hang out with big people. nice location

Re: Where's The Best Place To Live In Lagos Mainland? by markpenk: 5:04pm On Jun 11, 2017
Thanks Mzjin. Only problem with Ajao is poor power supply. It's why I crossed it off my list.
MzJin:









Congrats Sir......nice criteria we all love good stuffs. ......another thing u shuld consider is having ur place of work close, market,n church as well coz i bet the traffic is one hell u wont like to deal with on daily bases as well as dat of ur partner...then landlord's another important one...ensure u make tins easy for urself n ur sweet lady....all d places u mentioned are nice Ajao Estate i will prefer... Another option is the proximity to ur choice of transport terminals(e.g airport)..i wish u luck
