Property Description
Pavo Riverside – Pavo Riverside is a development of studio and 1 bedroom apartments on Riverside Drive, Westlands, Nairobi. Studios of 38 sqm start from US$52,440 and 1 bedroom units of 50 to 61 sqm from US$67,500, with prices rising on higher floors. Pavo Riverside is sold by Sir Francis Homes.
Pavo Riverside focuses on compact, well-finished homes in one of Nairobi’s most prestigious addresses. Riverside Drive runs between Westlands and Chiromo, close to embassies, international organisations, top hotels and the city’s main business districts, and it is known for its quiet, leafy streets and good security.
The project offers only two unit types: studios and one bedroom apartments. That makes it a focused choice for investors who want homes that are easy to let, and for professionals who want a lock-up-and-go base close to work.
The developer promotes the project around its strategic location, premium amenities, quality finishes and strong architectural design. Ask Sir Francis Homes for the full specification, the floor plans, the amenities list and the current construction status of Pavo Riverside before you decide.

Location: Riverside Drive, Westlands
Riverside Drive is one of Nairobi’s most sought-after residential streets. It sits between Westlands and the Chiromo area, close to the University of Nairobi’s Chiromo campus, several embassies and high commissions, and major hotels. Westlands offices, Sarit Centre, Westgate and the restaurants of Westlands are a short drive away, and the CBD is only a few minutes along Chiromo Road.
The area links easily to Waiyaki Way and the Nairobi Expressway, which gives a quicker route to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Lavington, Kileleshwa and Parklands are all close by, so residents have plenty of choice for schools, hospitals, gyms and shopping.
Design, finishes and amenities
Pavo Riverside is marketed with premium amenities and quality finishes throughout. Because the development is still being finalised, Sir Francis Homes can share the latest specification sheet showing the kitchen and bathroom finishes, the shared facilities, parking, backup power and water arrangements, and security features. Reviewing these details is the best way to compare Pavo Riverside with other Westlands projects.
Is Pavo Riverside Apartments a good investment?
Studios and one bedroom apartments in the Riverside and Westlands area are in steady demand from young professionals, NGO and embassy staff, consultants on short contracts and business travellers. Small units also work well as furnished or short-stay rentals, which can earn higher returns than standard long lets. Pricing in US dollars suits diaspora and foreign buyers who earn or save in dollars.
Who it suits
Pavo Riverside suits investors looking for rental income in a prime location, young professionals who want to live near Westlands and the CBD, diaspora buyers who want a dollar-priced asset, and anyone who wants a compact, easy-to-manage home in a secure neighbourhood. Sir Francis Homes can arrange a site visit and answer questions about the project.
Studio or 1 bedroom?
A studio at Pavo Riverside has the lowest entry price and suits single tenants and short-stay guests. A one bedroom costs more but gives a separate bedroom and living area, which appeals to couples and longer-term tenants and can be easier to resell. Think about who your tenant or buyer will be before you choose.
