Property Description
Shangrila Villas – Shangrila Villas is a gated community of 152 maisonettes on 20 acres along Maasai Lodge Road in Ongata Rongai, with each home on a 1/8-acre plot and a DSQ as standard. Homes start from KSh 20 million cash, the show house is ready to view, and the project is sold by Sir Francis Homes.
Shangrila Villas sits on Maasai Lodge Road, about 9 km from Galleria Mall and right next to Africa Nazarene University. The estate is planned around open space and greenery, so it feels like a quiet residential neighbourhood rather than a dense block of houses. For families who want room to grow without paying Karen or Lang’ata prices, it is one of the more practical options in Nairobi’s southern suburbs.
Every maisonette stands on its own 1/8-acre plot. That leaves real space between neighbours for a garden, children’s play area or extra parking, which many gated developments at this price do not offer. A separate domestic staff quarter (DSQ) comes with every home, so household help can live in without affecting the privacy of the main house.
There are two house types, Type A and Type B, and each can be bought for cash, on an instalment plan or with a mortgage. A show house is ready on site, so you can walk through the layout, check the finishes and judge the plot size for yourself before you commit.

Location: Maasai Lodge Road, Ongata Rongai
Ongata Rongai is one of the fastest-growing suburbs south of Nairobi. It has schools, supermarkets, hospitals and churches close by, and it connects to the city through Magadi Road, Lang’ata Road and the Southern Bypass. Galleria Mall is about 9 km from Shangrila Villas, and Karen, Lang’ata and the Nairobi National Park area are within a reasonable drive.
Africa Nazarene University borders the estate. The campus brings steady demand for rental homes from staff, lecturers and visiting academics, which is useful if you plan to let your villa rather than live in it. Rongai also has larger plots and lower prices than most suburbs closer to the CBD, which is why many families now buy here.
Design, finishes and amenities
Shangrila Villas is designed to fit into its natural setting, with landscaped open areas and low-density planning across the 20 acres. Each maisonette offers family-sized living space, a private compound on a 1/8-acre plot and a separate DSQ. As a properly managed gated community, the estate shares the cost of security, road maintenance and the upkeep of common areas, which a standalone plot in the same area cannot match. Visit the show house to see the layout, room sizes and finishing standard in person.
Is Shangrila Villas a good investment?
Shangrila Villas offers an entry into a master-planned gated community for about KSh 20 million, a price that is hard to match closer to the city. Larger plots, a DSQ as standard and a university next door give the homes broad appeal to both owner-occupiers and tenants. As Rongai continues to grow and roads improve, well-managed gated estates in the area tend to hold their value. The choice of cash, instalment and mortgage prices also lets you plan around your own cash flow.
Who it suits
Shangrila Villas suits young and growing families who want space and privacy, buyers moving out of Nairobi’s busier suburbs, diaspora buyers who want a secure home to come back to, and investors looking for rental demand from the Africa Nazarene University community. Sir Francis Homes can arrange a site visit, share the floor plans for Type A and Type B and walk you through the payment options.
Cash, instalment or mortgage?
Paying cash gives the lowest price at Shangrila Villas. An instalment plan costs about KSh 2 million more but lets you spread the payments, while the mortgage price is the highest because it includes the cost of bank financing. Work out the total cost of each route, including legal fees and stamp duty, before you choose.
