If you are planning on staying in Nairobi Nairobi
Housing
This is undoubtedly the only basic need that will leave your pockets empty and dry in Nairobi
If you are planning on living here for a long time, try not to get an apartment in the so called ‘up market’ areas of the city. A decent one bedroom apartment will go for about $500 - $700, while in other areas they would cost you anywhere between $90 to $150.
A two to three bed roomed apartment in areas which are not considered ‘up market’ will cost $120-$300 a month. The only difference between the ‘up market’ and other areas is the distance from the CBD. Most businessmen prefer living close to town which is about 3-6 kilometers from the CBD. Areas not considered ‘up market’ are about 10-15 kilometers from the central business district., which doesn’t make a huge difference an ordinary person.
Transportation
There are plenty of large and mini buses that ferry people within and out of the city at all times. If you would like to cut down on your transport spending while you are in Nairobi
Food
Depending on your preference, most food or food related stuff go at reasonable prices, a decent meal at a local restaurant would range from between $3-$15 depending on the area and type of food. If you are planning on having home made meals which are more pocket friendly, then you can decide which market is more convenient for you. There are more than 7 large shopping malls in the city plus other open air markets that sell grocery and other foods.
