If you are an Indian who likes to stick with Indians then its Parklands, if you are more cosmopolitan then Westlands, Kilimani, Kileshwa, Brookside are good areas.

Hi,

I am from Delhi and just moved to Nairobi. In Parkland and westland you will get the 2 Bed room furnished flat @ 1250USD. 500$-600$ is good enough for grocery. Do not worry you will get all the things what you gets in India.
