South B: The Planned Estate Between Town and Mombasa Road
Escort Services · South B, Nairobi
South B lies south-east of the Nairobi city centre, in the pocket bounded by Mombasa Road, the industrial area and the railway, next to South C and Nairobi West. Like its neighbours it was laid out as a complete estate rather than assembled plot by plot, and the grid of maisonettes, low-rise flats and shared open ground it was given still orders the place today.
Central Without Being in the Centre
The estate's long-standing advantage is distance, or the lack of it. The city centre is a short run up Uhuru Highway, the industrial area is on the doorstep, Mombasa Road carries traffic to the airport and out of the city, and Wilson Airport is minutes away. For anyone working in the industrial area or the CBD, South B has offered one of the shortest commutes in Nairobi for decades, and that has kept demand steady through every property cycle.
A Middle-Income Estate Building Upward
South B was built for the salaried middle, and it has held that character. Its commercial life is concentrated around the local shopping centre and the main access roads, with schools, clinics, places of worship and a market serving the surrounding streets rather than drawing people in from elsewhere. Over the last two decades the original single-storey housing has increasingly given way to apartment blocks as plots are redeveloped, and the estate is considerably denser than it was designed to be.
The persistent complaint is traffic, since every route out of South B feeds onto roads that carry the whole southern side of the city. The compensation is that very little in Nairobi is far away from it, which is the reason the estate has never gone out of fashion.
