Nope. For example all over Seaside estate at Addo that's the price. The funny scenario is that miniflat and 2 bed are always priced the same most times

Seaside estate is at Badore, if I'm not mistaken.

Just do a quick search on NigeriaPropertyCentre for a 2-bedroom-apartment at that axis.

Perhaps you were lucky with the two-bed you got at 580.
I also hope this wasn't 2015.

I left island for Berger. I'm enjoying it

The light is stable

My monthly salary can pay my house rent like ten times. Unlike Ajah where six months salary will be used in financing house rent where one would be contributing to the ladnlord's development at the expense of one's personal growth and development.

In Ajah/Lekki axis, the annual rent feee is many people's 6-12 months slary, so they can't save. It's hand to mouth always. So instead of stay 2M per annum, i'm on a low-key on the mainland at 200k per annum setting up multiple businesses every month, next year, cash out big time.

Food is super. I buy six raps of semo and eight meats for 1200 Naira. You can't buy this at Ajah at this price. I always add yoghurt/Milk/Malt to make it 2k per meal. Bro, i'm living the yankee life in Berger..

Yes, and i change my soup daily. I can change up to as much as six different soups. More so, i'm known. Some time i could be in a hurry maybe i'm headed somewhere, without cash, i can take up to 2k food..

I have piexpress for my mid day snacks

When i want to change dollar, i dash into the bank call my aobki, less than 45 -60 minutes i;m done

Men, i'm in NewYork City in Berger

No issues at all

How can you call Ajah Island... It's like calling bread and Akara sandwich or burger!

OP the truth be say everywhere for Lagos dey expensive some are just more expensive than the others.

In summary, the cost of living in Lagos is high even Abuja and P. H. dey learn work

Island is an English word meaning "surrounded by water".

Ajah,Lagos Island, VI,Lekki,Ikoyi are surrounded by water. It is actually like a curve. This places can only be accessed through a bridge or ferry, reason for the 3rd mainland bridge and the 4th mainland bridge that is being constructed.. There are still jetties around Sandfill,Ajah and Ikoyi to places like Ikorodu and Co.

Yes, Ajah is part of the Island.

Now don't laugh this off. This is a rather serious comparison as it's my first time in Lagos and as such my first time on the Island.

According to the topic, I will like readers especially those who reside in Lagos to share their opinions as to which of these major residential areas in Lagos is actually more value for money.

I've lived in the Ajah axis of Lagos Island for about 7 months and I can confidently tell you that I will not advise any newcomer to pay rent to live here. Electricity is bad, water is terrible, roads are bad too and for those who commute the Lekki-Epe express road daily know how hellish it can be when there is a surge in traffic.

Tbh, most people living on the island are suffering and smiling, even those who you think are well to do are having it worse.

I'm considering moving away from the Island and finding a serene environment on the mainland to live in. I heard that Magodo/Berger area is true, please how true is this? I will like readers who reside in Lagos to share their thoughts on other serene environments one can live in where one can get good basic amenities. This will definitely help other people as well. Thanks.
Mainland is cheap, we only visit Island to make money. Island is expensive, not good for someone struggling financially
