Adval Land Price Index
The Land Price Index is a statistical measure that tracks the changes in the cost of land over a specific period, offering a clear picture of how land values are rising or falling in various regions. Just like inflation indices track changes in consumer prices, the LPI helps stakeholders understand market movements, predict future prices, and make informed investment decisions.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned land investor, or simply curious about Kenya’s real estate market, understanding the Land Price Index can offer valuable insights into where the best opportunities lie.
In this blog, we’ll break down what the Land Price Index is, why it matters, how it’s calculated, and what current trends reveal about land investment potential in Kenya.

Market Insights from the Adval Properties Index – Q2 Report This quarter’s data reflects key emerging trends that are actively shaping land investment decisions across Kenya. Premium Urban Zones: Nairobi CBD, Eastleigh, and South B recorded the highest average price per acre, underscoring their enduring appeal due to strategic location and robust commercial demand. As central business and retail hubs, land in these areas remains scarce and highly competitive, with prices reflecting continued investor confidence. Rising Residential Hotspot: Kileleshwa registered a notable double-digit price increase, cementing its reputation as a fast-growing residential area. The rise is driven by improved infrastructure, easy access to top amenities, and a wave of redevelopment projects that are redefining the neighborhood's skyline. High-ROI Investment Corridors: For speculative investors seeking strong capital appreciation at more accessible price points, Jogoo Road, Mirema, Rosslyn, Kabete, and Ruiru emerged as high-ROI zones. These areas are characterized by transitioning land use patterns, infrastructure expansion, and increasing residential demand. Kitengela: This peri-urban area continues to attract buyers looking for affordable residential and mixed-use parcels. This quarter, Kitengela recorded a 3% quarter-on-quarter price increase, supported by improved connectivity, the growth of gated communities, and spillover demand from Nairobi and Athi River. The area's balanced mix of affordability and growth potential makes it especially attractive for first-time investors. Kitengela has grown big stretching towards Kisaju. Konza Metropolis: Fueled by ongoing development of the Konza Technopolis and enhanced transport links, land prices in this zone rose by 4% this quarter. As one of Kenya's most ambitious smart city projects, Konza is drawing both domestic and international interest, positioning it as a long-term strategic investment location for tech-driven and institutional buyers
