How to Be That Auntie or Uncle Who “Bought Land Back in the Day”
Let’s keep it real, shall we?
You’ve probably scrolled past that one uncle on Facebook reminiscing about how he bought land in Nairobi for a quarter of its price “back in the day.” Now it’s worth millions or maybe you’ve heard your grandma say, “Hii shamba ya Membley tulinunua wakati hakuna barabara.” You chuckle, but deep down, FOMO hits differently, and rightfully so, because those grandparents understood the assignment.

They saw Nairobi not just as a dusty roadside but also as a city on the brink of transformation, a future hub of opportunity, development, and serious return on investment (ROI). They invested in places like Daykio Membley when it felt like a gamble. Today? It’s a thriving suburb with gated communities, tarmacked roads, schools, shopping centres, and streetlights. That’s what generational foresight looks like.
Their leap of faith paid off. Rapid development, better roads, shopping hubs, and the steady pulse of city life turned those humble plots into real estate gold. That "buy low, hold tight" mindset is precisely what today’s young investors need. So, instead of just listening to your parents reminisce, maybe it’s time to write your success story with Daykio Johari and Daykio Hekima.
Daykio Johari Estate: Your Hidden Gem
Let’s start with Johari, Swahili for gem. And like any true gem, it’s rare, valuable, and timeless. Located along Kangundo Road, Johari is the ⅛-acre plot you proudly introduce to your parents. It’s everything you’ve been looking for: affordable, gated, and designed for controlled development. Whether you’re a young professional, part of a chama, or planning for your future family, Johari Estate is that voice whispering, “You’re doing the right thing.”
You don’t need to break the bank to break ground. Priced at KES 600K with a 6-month interest-free plan, it’s giving soft life, long-term returns, and generational bragging rights. A neighbourhood vibe with investment-ready infrastructure? It’s giving legacy. It’s giving you finally made the adulting leap, and it wasn't unpleasant.
Daykio Hekima Estate: Intelligence Represents Modern Allure
If Johari is the gem, Hekima is the wisdom. Tucked in Juja, just 15 minutes from the superhighway, Daykio Hekima isn’t just land; it’s a smart lifestyle move. Close enough to Nairobi for convenience, yet just far enough to breathe, grow, and build. Surrounded by amenities, essential utilities, and a community of like-minded investors, this is where your vision begins to pay rent back.
Looking for space? Done. Craving peace of mind? Say less. With infrastructure already underway and plots priced at KES 1.8M with a 12-month interest-free plan, Hekima is a symbol of clarity. You’re not just buying land. You’re buying time, freedom, and future options. That’s what wise decisions look like. That’s what Hekima means.
Why Now? Because FOMO Is Real.
Let’s be honest: Nairobi’s skyline is changing faster than your TikTok “For You” page. Markets wait for no one. Investing while roads and infrastructure are still developing means getting in early before prices skyrocket.
“But I’m not ready to build yet!”
Perfect. Land isn’t just about building. It’s about investing. It doesn’t depreciate; it appreciates, like fine wine or your Spotify Wrapped playlist. Imagine putting your money somewhere, and it grows quietly in the background. That’s next-level adulting, and guess what? You’re not too early or too late. You’re right on time, like your grandparents when they bet on Nairobi before Nairobi became Nairobi.
This isn’t a guilt trip, it’s a wake-up call. The people who will own the Nairobi of tomorrow aren’t necessarily the ones with the deepest pockets today. They’re the ones with the sharpest foresight now.

So, what’s your plot?
Literally, what’s your story in the making? What will you tell your future kids when they ask, “How did you get your land?” Let your answer be: “I saw the vision. I moved smart. I went with Daykio.” Johari Estate (Kangundo Road) or Hekima Estate (Juja)? The choice is yours. But your land journey starts now. Secure your spot. Lock in the price and let the city grow around your name. To book a site visit or for inquiries, call or WhatsApp us at 0709327900 or email sales@daykio.com or click here.
