Owning a home in Kenya, especially for those looking to escape the urban pressure, is sometimes accompanied by a set of pains: identifying affordable land, laying hold of assured infrastructure, and dealing with intricate payment schemes.

To many Kenyans, the allure of having a piece of land or a small home away from the city is enormous. But concerns over access to simple facilities like water and electricity, security, and convenience in payment, can easily scare away potential customers. FAM Limited, a Kenyan real estate company, defies these odds with its strategically located and well-planned estates.

Ruiru Villas

Take the case of Ruiru Villas, a project aimed at those who want to experience the upscale suburban lifestyle. It is just about five minutes away Thika Superhighway, at Exit 13.

Ruiru Villas offers quarter-acre plots in a controlled gated settlement, going for as low as Ksh7.95 million, with the option of monthly payment instalments from Ksh213,000.

The project has core property facilities such as piped water, electricity, perimeter wall, and 24-hour security. In addition to the necessities, residents will enjoy a modern mixed-use clubhouse, children's play zone, junior school, and scenic lake views. Above all, FAM Limited offers a convenient payment plan of up to 36 months, making this dream home a reality for more Kenyans.

Rafiki Gardens

Then there is Rafiki Gardens, a serene environment in Joska. Plots measuring 50x100 metres are available here for Ksh750,000. One can opt for monthly instalments of Ksh175,000.

Rafiki Gardens provides peace of mind with access to water and electricity at your doorstep, and well-compacted murram roads for easy access. Its accommodating payment plan of up to five months makes home ownership more accessible since all their projects have ready title deeds.

Thindigua Gardens

FAM Limited also offers high-end contemporary living in Thindigua Gardens in Kiambu. The three-bedroom spacious apartments, ready for occupation, provide fully-serviced living with all the facilities one would need, with a mix of comfort and convenience.

The apartments are priced at Ksh9 million a unit, with financing available from Equity Bank.

Trip to the US

To bridge the gap between the diaspora and existing investment opportunities within Kenya, FAM Limited is embarking on a nationwide tour of the United States. This action allows the diaspora to visit the company in person and engage with the extensive list of properties available. The team is visiting the following cities:

  1. July 2, 2025: New Jersey/Central Jersey
  2. July 3-6, 2025: Washington DC
  3. July 7-15, 2025: Raleigh/North Carolina
  4. July 16-24, 2025: Kansas City/Kansas
  5. July 24-August 2, 2025 Federal Way/Washington
  6. August 2-3, 2025: Portland/Oregon
  7. August 4-6, 2025: Salem/Oregon
  8. August 7-10, 2025: Sumas, Washington
  9. August 7-10, 2025: St. Paul/Minnesota
  10. August 11-15, 2025: St. Paul/Minnesota
  11. August 15-21, 2025: Denver/Colorado
  12. August 22-27, 2025: Dallas
  13. August 28-September 3, 2025: Boston
  14. September 4-9, 2025: Central Jersey/New Jersey.

This ambitious tour demonstrates FAM Limited’s commitment to making real estate investment in Kenya available and accessible to all, wherever they may be in the world.

Through secure, serviced, and conveniently located properties with affordable payment options, FAM Limited is not just selling land or homes. It's giving a solution to the ongoing pursuit of securing comfortable and sustainable living in Kenya.

For Kenyans within the country and abroad, the path to homeownership has been simplified and made more accessible than ever.
