With enhanced road networks and proximity to the city’s main transit routes, it is a prime destination for professionals, upwardly mobile families, and diaspora Nigerians looking to invest in premium real estate.
The development comprises 104 elegantly finished units, including 5-bedroom fully detached and semi-detached triplexes (with service quarters), 4-bedroom terraces, and 2- and 3-bedroom apartments. Designed for a discerning clientele, Afriland Estate caters to middle-to-high-income earners, professionals, and investors seeking long-term value in a secure and thoughtfully planned environment.
