Karen

Horse paddocks, coffee farms and homes you measure in acres. Named for Karen Blixen, this is Nairobi's most romantic district - green, spacious and unhurried, yet only a clear road from town.

Karen trades density for breathing room. Properties sit on one to five acres, framed by indigenous trees and the Ngong Hills on the horizon. It draws families, equestrians and creatives who want space, light and a slower rhythm - with farmers' markets, fine dining and the Karen Country Club anchoring the social life.
