EPE is the next Lagos island and the first without flood disturbance . if u are planning to rent an apartment in Lekki, go buy land and build house in Epe and come back to thank me in 4years from now.

Northern Foreshore Estate

Nicon Town Estate

Carlton Gate Estate

Royal Gardens Estate

The above estates are well-planned against flood, if you are buying, your budget should be over a 100m but if you are renting, budget a little above 10m per annum

These Estates locations are prime as you wouldn't pay Second Toll Gate fees anytime they commence receipts.

I do not recommend going further than Ajah Bridge, those territories parade the worst drivers on the axis.

after ajah... all those abijon, lakowe, awoyaya, bogije, and the elekon beach side. vgc flooding is mainly at the enterance.

Wanted to say the same thing too.

Anyone who can afford to buy prime real estate of about N100 million should not be worried about paying toll charges of max N300!

Wishing you the very best bro, kindly contact me if you intend to own a solar powered inverter system in your apartment. 08063805523

You are wrong. I live here and I own prime estates worth more but I worry about recurring N300 or N250 etc. The reason is very simple. If you own prime real estates here, then you should know that you will own businesses and staff that requires fleet of cars going through those toll gates.

I am not sure you know our budgets here for our cars needless to say I shouldn't worry about payment on yet the 3rd toll gate on this axis.

We do not steal the money, we work hard here so we worry about spending even 1 kobo without justifiable reason.

First I want you to note that the topography of the island is just slightly above sea level hence prone to flooding, so if you are moving here please have that at the back of your mind.

However there are still areas that are properly planned with good drainage systems and water channels that minimizes the effects of flooding.

If the cost of leasing/ renting a place isnt an issue for you, then the few estates and areas I can recommened to you that isnt susceptible to floods are

Still water Gardens Ikate: Rent N3.5m Yearly Duplexes
Friends Colony Estate Osapa N4m Duplexes, N2.8-N3m Flats yearly
Romay Gardens Estate Ilasan N4m Terraces
Victory Park Estate Osapa: Duplexes N4-5m yearly
Pinnock Beach Estate Osapa: N6-7m Duplexes
Nicon Town: N10-15m yearly Duplexes
Carlton Gate Estate Chevron N5-7m yearly Duplexes
Primewaters Estate Ikate Lekki: N3m
Lakeview Estate Ikota : N4-5m Duplexes
Royal Gardens Estate Ajah: N4-6m duplexes
Silver point estate Osapa Terraces : N3.5M

Note that aside these estates there are other areas you might likely wish to consider, some parts of ikate, osapa, chevron, lekki right hand side.

If you want a more comprehensive detail of these areas and more places you can mention me.

I hope this helps

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm looking to move to the Island in short order. My single biggest worry is the high risk of flooding on the Island. We know the rains will be here very soon, and I really don't want to experience the flooding that many experienced this year on the Island.

Which leads me to my question: Where are the least flood prone areas on the Island? More specifically, anywhere between Lekki and LBS? -looks like the farther away from LBS the estates and areas are, the less planned/maintained (or maybe someone can educate me?). I'm also open to other suggestions if you have them.

All other things being equal -good security, drainage, roads, gated communities, and planned estates- I'd appreciate your recommendations. Please understand that I'm not particularly worried about rent and living costs per se. Just don't want to deal with a flooded apartment and/or street (okay, maybe the occasional flooded street. Definitely not a flooded home).

The farther away I can be from flood prone areas, the better really.

I'm hoping that this thread would not only benefit me, but also prove to be beneficial to other people who are thinking about doing the same.

Mods... Lalasticlala mynd44 lawyer... please epp me (make I no go become cautionary tale o) . Na beg i dey beg o. Please help a brother. Thanks.

^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^
Brilliant!

I'm happy you created this thread
because I was also thinking of doing so
too. I've got some major investments to make
in that axis too and don't want to throw
good money into the bush!


All the best!

I doubt if they'd have such apartments there. Besides, the cost of such an apartment, would get you something decent elsewhere. I don't see any reason why someone should be paying 1.5m plus to live in a self contain, when you can add 1.5m to it and get a 5 bedroom duplex in Ikeja gra.

OK great. Lovely Sunday to you.



[quote author=40kobo77 post=62722936][/quote]

I work on the Island hence my preference and also not ready to start furnishing more than a self-contained apartment. I currently stay at Elegant Court, Ajah and it is all I would ever want but the estate is completely run down - no electricity power for more than a month now despite the neighborhood having constant supply. Same thing with water supply. In terms of location it is just right for me but for these issues I'm pissed. I also don't want to have a generator.

Although i didnt mention Napier Gardens on that list, Napier Gardens are bungalows of 3-4bedroom with usually a room bq and they have a rental value of between N2.5-2.8m, However if you desire a selfcon at Napier please note that what you would get is a bq in these bungalows, it is an ensuite bq with a toilet and bath but no kitchen and the rooms arent big.

I currently do not have any bq for rent at Napier Gardens, but if you are serious about your request I can contact a few colleagues to ask.

If you are ok with the above description of how a selfcon at Napier is please give me a mention and i will send you my contact

Ok then. I understand your plight. I personally can't deal with the flood on the island...

Looks scary without a kitchen but still let me know the cost. Also if you c an get any in those estates you mentioned, please Hola.

Is it the 3bedroom flat that is 2.8m, or the bq/self contain?

The entire 3 or 4bedroom bungalow including the bq.

The flooding thing could be resolved easily if only our First Class civil engineers are not busy using tweeter to sell themselves. You got First Class and you are stupid enough not to know how to plan your life or make yourself useful. Naija and fake distinctions.
80% of Harvard graduates move on to become employers not employee. Naija First Class student: goes to twitter and tweets give me work because he or she feel entitled to a job. They don't know that it is not your grade that entitle you it is your will, passion and hardwork

And don't you think will, passion, and hardworking gave them the first class?

Why do you think major companies regard class of degree high? Because they believe candidates who can replicate the hardworking to get a degree can do the same on the job.

So, if I strive hard to get a First class, I should languish away and not beg for a job because I'm not entitled ba?

Harvard blah blah! Edioot! Like Harvard is in Nigeria, and Nigeria has the same environment with the US.

Shut up forever!

Thomas estate has fairly constant power.
But if you want 24/7 Power around Ajah you may consider fara park at majek. A 3br flat there goes for N1.5m per annum.
VGC has up to 20hrs daily power but the flooding there is legendary.
So Thomas estate might be your best bet

The other estates i mentioned have a similar thing to what i described to you at Napier, besides that someone who can afford to rent an apartment or a duplex for 4m and above will surely have a use for his/her bq, either for man servants or drivers, so i dont advice you hold your breath on anythin in those estates.

You can get a good selfcon in some good areas in lekki all depending on your budget, prices of apartments in lekki are categorized by location for example a good selfcon from Oniru- Lekki 1 will set you back about 500k-1m being the hotbed of lekki but as you go further towards ajah the rent decreases but you will further face a decline in supply.

There is a good demand for selfcons but very little number of selfcon to go round that is where the problem lies, there are no purposefully built selcons in these areas because developers do not see a viable market for it given cost implications.

The few purposefully built studio apartments also referred to as selfcon within lekki to ajah axis are quite expensive ranging from a rental value of between 1m- 2m excluding service charge which sometimes is set at 300-500k.

Some people have blessed your life this year and you're wondering how to pay them back, why not buy them a plot of land? Land is inexhaustible and imperishable. They will remember you forever.

Instead of taking your children for vacation and spending lavishly on them, why not buy a plot of land as Christmas gift for them.

Goodbless you.
