About Karen
Karen offers what most of Nairobi cannot: large plots, mature gardens and a semi-rural feel within the city. Standalone homes on half-acre or larger plots dominate, alongside a growing number of gated villa communities. The Hub Karen and Karen shopping centres serve the area, and the Ngong Forest and the Ngong Hills are close by.
