Choosing Between Renting and Buying in Kenya: A 2026 Perspective

A Question Many Are Asking in 2026

As the cost of living rises, many Kenyans are reassessing whether renting still makes sense, or whether ownership offers better long-term value.

The answer depends on lifestyle goals, financial readiness, and long-term planning.


Renting: Flexibility with Limitations

Renting offers mobility but exposes tenants to rising costs and limited control.


Buying: Stability and Long-Term Value

Ownership offers predictable costs, asset growth, and security, especially when purchasing from a trusted developer.

Developments such as KEZA Riruta provide a clear ownership pathway for buyers transitioning from renting.


How to Decide in 2026

Consider:

  • Length of stay
  • Financial stability
  • Long-term goals
  • Developer credibility
