Rent in lagos is crazy.

My office is in Yaba and what I've been seeing is way above my budget(400-500k)

How can mini flat be going for 1.2m excluding other charges.
I am seriously considering going to ikorodu since I only have to come to work 3 times a week.

Is this feasible or are there other places where I can get something decent but closer than Ikorodu.

Those who are experienced please do share.

Mods.. Thank you.

Ikorodu is your best bet as regards rent in a Lagos considering the fact you work in Yaba

I've never been there. People say it's too far away (30km) coupled with insane traffic

Ikorodu is not that far if not for the traffic around mile 12 towards Owode onirin. On a norm, without traffic, journey from Ojota to Ikorodu is within 25min.

You may choose to stay in areas before Ikorodu, Ajegunle, Irawo and co.

I work in surulere and stay in ikorodu, it can be difficult at times to get brt with the long queue and u can drive if u have a car coz traffic is not always serious when leaving ikorodu in d morning but coming back is a little difficult coz of the traffic but it's worth it coz of the lesser house rent, I will just advice u not to look for accommodation in areas u will have to hustle for bus again after u get to ikorodu, u can stay in agric so far it won't go beyond asolo, u will still enter keke tho or u can stay in igbo oluwo estate in jumofak, that's more like d best place to stay for everyday working class in ikorodu but houses are expensive there too nw but u will get a good room and parlour self contain between 300k to 500k depending on the standard of house that's excluding the agreement and commission.......if u won't mind ikorodu traffic that I'll advice u use brt with a little patience on queue I will recommend jumofak igbo oluwo estate

Ikorodu is ok...Irawo/owode/Ajegunle/Mile 12 has bad water, so I wont recommend. These areas are flood plains too...If you know you know.

Ikorodu is okay.

30km from where to where?

It is even better that you get to go to the office 3 times in a week, Ikorodu should be fine.
Unlike before, BRT from Ikorodu is more efficient now so you'll be fine

why only ikorodu what happened to ikeja an environs

Hmmm

Ikorodu to mainland?
No be mainland Ikorodu dey?

I once read here that people living in Ikorodu battle bad water from the soil. Since most of the land is swampy.
Una Lagos people dey try o!
Another hell fire place na Port Harcourt.
Both suffering and smiling city!
Country hard, Abuja sef no too well but at least you d get good water!

You see any of your friend

In yaba, akoka, surulere, gbagada

Just hold them tight
They are rich

Because the way developers call rent here
You'll think they are using Dollar rate for UK house rent

I saw a 1 single room with personal toilet and kitchen
The whole space not upto my full Room at home

Calling Total 1.150million

And before you say jack
12 units is remaining only 3

Meaning some mfkers are collecting it with rush sef

Houses in Ikeja are not cheap!

There's BRT from ikorodu all the way to Racecourse. Stop at ojuelegba bus stop and find your way to yaba. Simple

You can also try ketu tipper or ketu alapere. Houses is not that cost in these area.

Get a house in Ketu environs. Its a straight route to Yaba using BRT

Walai. Him no like u at allll

Paraman:

Ok where ikorodu dey?? Semi-mainland??



As far as I know, we have two divides, the mainland and the island so I don't know where ikorodu belongs to again, maybe na island then
