5 Best Places To Live In Lagos by 13ShadesOfMay(m): 1:08am On Oct 31, 2017
Currently planning on moving or buying a house in Lagos? Then you should consider this places in Lagos, especially if you have kids.

We'll be ranking this based on schools, crime and safety, accessibility, quiet and peaceful domain and ideal environment for families.

1. Ikoyi

Ikoyi is one of the best neighbourhoods on the coveted Lagos Island. It has some great schools and plenty of choices to make a pick from, from nursery through secondary. Crime and safety rank favourably, and the quiet and peaceful feel of the place makes for just the ideal environment for families.

2. Yaba

Yaba located on Lagos mainland is known as the Silicon Valley of Nigeria. Majority of internet start-ups like Co-Creation hub, Andela and others has turned Yaba to one of the most sought-after locations.
Yaba may not be better than many places in terms of housing and economics, but it has good public schools and generally an ideal environment for families. The nightlife is unlike any other, with trendy eateries, hip bars and stylish clubs aplenty.
It also accommodates major schools in Lagos like The University of Lagos located in Akoka, Queens College and Yaba College of Technology making Yaba a place for the younger generation.

3. Ikeja

Ikeja is regarded as the central business district of Lagos. It houses most government parastatals with both the Governor’s office and government house located in Ikeja.
Ikeja is also a highly industrial area with several companies and really good schools.
Let's not fail to mention the Government Residential Areas that are very conducive for your children.

4. Magodo

Although Magodo lies toward the outskirts of Lagos in close proximity to Ikeja and Ojodu Berger. Magodo is basically a residential area that is known to be home to some affluent people of society.
It may not be better than many places in terms of accessibility, but it has good public schools and generally an ideal environment for families.

5. Lekki - Ajah

Lekki to Ajah axis is another area in Lagos that offers an excellent setting for families looking to settle in the state.
Ajah might sound like some remote middle-of-nowhere place, but it actually does offer some great employment opportunities.

When you throw in additional perks such as friendly residents, great schools and jobs that are just around the corner, and top-notch medical facilities, you couldn’t wish for more.

op I totally disagree with that .. can you compare crime rate in Ikorodu to some part in Ikeja eg (computer village) or Oshodi..?

Badoo is long wiped out of Ikorodu, so far Ikorodu is peaceful, affordable and a has a good mixture of rich and poor leaving together.

WHAT ABOUT SURULERE?
Thank you very much.
Surulere is the best place in Lagos to live in.
It is not exclusive to the rich or poor alone. Vibrant nightlife in places like Ojuelegba,Lawanson etc

Very accessible because it serves as a link between the Island and Mainland. Rich and Poor live here.

OP is high on Baygon

Lekki is now like Ojuelegba. It's now mostly commercialized, heavy traffic, too much noise and touts in the form of okada riders.
Yaba keh? When they're areas like Gbagada, Surulere, Magodo and so on.

No part of Lagos is invaluable. I rep lekki. Though cost of living is excruciating. Naw LLC is planning to add more pains to the already choked residents.
