When it comes to buying land, 50 by 100 plots (1/8 acre plots) are the most popular size, particularly, in urban areas like Nairobi and its environs. They’re a good size of land if you would like to buy and build a home or even set up a business like a small farm. If you’re thinking about buying one, here’s a beginners guide that will tell you more about 50 by 100 plots and land investment in Kenya from the sizing to finding the right one.
What Does a 50 by 100 Plot Look Like?
For starters, a 50 by 100 plot is basically a piece of land that’s 50 feet wide and 100 feet long. This is otherwise known as an 1/8 Acre plot in the market.
It’s a common size for residential homes in Kenya and it’s big enough to fit a nice house with some extra space for small kitchen gardens, parking, some space where you can set up an area to chill and the likes.
How Much Is a 50 by 100 Plot in Kenya?
Now, 1/8 acre plot price in Kenya tends to vary based on factors like where the land is located. If you’re looking for a plot in or close to Nairobi CBD, then it might be more expensive. But, you can also explore areas that are growing fast, like Kikuyu or Kitengela where you can get a good piece of land at affordable rates.
For example, our Crestview Gardens in Kikuyu prime plots start at Ksh. 999,000: Cash offer payable with an option to pay in installments
We also have Oakmont Gardens in Kitengela going at Ksh 1,850,000 cash offer with an option to pay in installments
These spots are actually getting more popular and growing quite fast and you can expect that 1/8 acre plot prices there will rise faster in the coming years.
What Can You Build on a 50 by 100 Plot?
With a 50 by 100 plot in Kenya, you’ve got a lot of options. You can build a good house with enough room for a family or you can go for smaller units that you can rent out, like apartments. You could also build something like a small chicken farm structure.
It all depends on what you want to do with the land and the rules of the area you’re building in.
How Many Houses Can Fit on a 50 by 100 Plot?
Well, it depends on what you’re aiming for. If you’re building just one house, you’ll have lots of space for a nice, big place with room for a garden and parking. But if you’re thinking of rental properties, you could squeeze in more, like a few apartments, but you’d need a clever architectural design.

Frankly, it’s quite rare to find a 50 by 100 plot at 50K. That said, you can get a good deal where you pay that much as a down payment that’s as low as 50K to 100K and the pending balance over time.
