The origin of the Buruburu estate can be traced back to the 1962 Regional Commission, which advocated for the expansion of Nairobi, for housing and development purposes on the eastward side. This program adopted a mortgage housing finance strategy that would provide housing for the emerging Nairobi middle class. Before then, the postcolonial government had built rental houses that were mainly inhabited by high-income earners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took a decade to complete the 5 planned phases, with each phase consisting of 1000 units. Most of the units in these 5 phases were maisonettes with 3-4 bedrooms as well as 2-3 bedroom bungalows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After its completion in the mid-, the Buruburu estate was a desirable neighborhood to live in. Only top business people, government officials, professionals, and a few expatriates on short-term assignments in the country could afford to live here and were proud to be associated with the estate. The estate was a model for future developments in other commonwealth countries in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But over the years, the estate has declined due to neglect and rapid urbanization. Construction of extensions to existing houses, illegal structures\/businesses, prostitution, insecurity, and keeping animals have also contributed greatly to this decline in its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low and middle-income earners now mostly inhabit Buruburu estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kiambiu slums, Ofafa Jericho, Jericho, Hamza, Umoja, Kariobangi south, Old Donholm, Outering estate, Pioneer estate, Harambee estate, and Rabai estate<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vosh Church intl<\/p>\n\n\n\n Full Gospel Churches of Kenya<\/p>\n\n\n\n ACK St. James Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buruburu Baptist Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aga Khan University hospital buruburu<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avenue Healthcare Buruburu clinic<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hono clinic<\/p>\n\n\n\n Njiru Health center<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nature pharmacy limited<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bliss medical center Buruburu<\/p>\n\n\n\n Umoja health center<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summed Pharmacy limited<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coptic hospital<\/p>\n\n\n\n St. Marys Mission Hospital<\/p>\n\n\n\n Penpharm Pharmacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Token pharmaceuticals limited<\/p>\n\n\n\n Canaan pharmaceuticals limited<\/p>\n\n\n\n click here to find properties for sale and to rent in this area<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read Also: Comprehensive Guide to Ongata Rongai<\/a> Neighborhood <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Get Fit gym and aerobics<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lystra Gym and Spa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Power flex gym and Aerobics<\/p>\n\n\n\n Henrys fitness, gym, and training facility<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold rock gym fitness center<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wazito fitness centre<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pure bliss Nail spa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nail master spa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amigoz spa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lystra Gym and spa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buruklyn finest clinique<\/p>\n\n\n\n Havilah nail spa and beauty parlor<\/p>\n\n\n\n Universities\/ Colleges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts<\/p>\n\n\n\n SOS Technical Institute<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unity College<\/p>\n\n\n\n East Africa School of Theology<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shepherds College<\/p>\n\n\n\n Highschools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Buruburu Girls highschool<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buruburu High School<\/p>\n\n\n\n NPC Secondary school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apostolic Carmel Girls School<\/p>\n\n\n\n Primary schools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas Burke primary school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wanja and Kim primary school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bidii Primary school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Baraka primary school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Happyland Primary School<\/p>\n\n\n\n ACK St. James primary school<\/p>\n\n\n\n River Road Primary School<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harambee primary school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buruburu One Primary<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kindergarten schools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shepherds junior school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barbie kids kindergarten<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taji junior campus<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chalk farm junior school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bright beginnings kindergarten school<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominique junior academy<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABSA bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n K-rep bank Kenya<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standard bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commercial bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n Equity bank<\/p>\n\n\n\n click here to find properties for sale and to rent in this area<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Taurus lounge<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spice Lounge Buruburu<\/p>\n\n\n\n B Lounge Buruburu<\/p>\n\n\n\n Club Pynts Buruburu<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sky fall Bar and Lounge<\/p>\n\n\n\n Safaricom Home Fiber<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zuku fiber<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wavelink Network 0748 111 304<\/p>\n\n\n\n Single rooms Ksh4, 000 to Sh5, 500,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bedsitters Ksh8, 000 to Sh13, 000<\/p>\n\n\n\n One bedroom Ksh12, 000 to Sh17, 000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two bedroom Ksh19, 000 to Ksh30, 000<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three bedroom Ksh33, 000 to Ksh50,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n Close proximity to Nairobi CBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buruburu estate is located in a convenient location where residents can access employment opportunities, schools, and other essential facilities with ease in and around Nairobi Central Business District.
