Hi and welcome

It also depends on whether you have children and which system (British, US) you'd like them to follow.

There are 2 good international schools in northern part of town (Runda, Gigiri, Nyari,Kitisuru) that follow the US curriculum, British schools can be found both around Karen area and up north.

It also depends on the budget. Housing here can be very expensive especially in Karen and up north (Runda and nearby) but you can't go wrong with either

Traffic as mentioned can be a pain, so it makes sense to find a home near work

Hi
Anywhere between Karen and runda is good,by that i mean riara,lavington,westlands,loresho,springvalley,nyari etc.You have a choice of apartments,cottages,townhouses or standalone houses.It all depends on where you work or where your kids go to school and your budget.
