Local perspective
Living and owning property in Lavington
An area in transition
Lavington's older housing stock is standalone family homes on half-acre and quarter-acre plots. Over the last decade many of those plots have been redeveloped into townhouse courts and low-rise apartments, so the area now offers a range of price points within a few streets of each other.
A quiet street today may have a development plot next door tomorrow, so it is worth asking about zoning and neighbouring approvals before you buy.
Access and amenities
Lavington Mall, the Junction and Valley Arcade cover shopping, and the area is within easy reach of Westlands and the CBD via James Gichuru Road, Ngong Road and Waiyaki Way.
