Fedha Estate



Fedha Estate

Location

Fedha Estate is one of the fast growing hoods along Outering Road viewed by residents of neighbouring estates as one housing the better off members of the society. Fedha is sometimes referred to as part of Tassia but has slowly evolved to have an identity of its own.

Other hoods around here that also rise above, in status, the neighbouring “high rise slum” Pipeline and Mukuru are Tassia and Avenue Park estates, all closely hurdled together almost imitating human beings of a certain social class drawn together by bonds of shared wealth and common interests.

On the other side, farthest from the road, Fedha borders the massive Nyayo Estate, Embakasi, which stretches almost from North Airport Road. This area is also experiencing rapid growth with houses in different states of completion.

Social amenities.

Fedha is served by several schools among them Tassia High School and Fedha School. Inside the estate there are a few shops and the nearest shopping centre is Pipeline and the Nakumatt Embakasi on one side and Donholm on the other.

Transport

Matatus mostly charge higher during peak hours while the buses never go beyond Sh50.

Its strategic location makes Fedha a favourite for people working at the JKIA airport, in town or along Mombasa Road. You can easily access the estate through Mombasa or Jogoo road by public transport for between Sh30 to Sh70, depending on the time and vehicle.

As you get closer to Fedha, you begin to appreciate the tout’s words. It is as if a red blizzard hit this area as red roofing iron sheets rule the day. The only cars that pass you are private or school vans, matatus and buses use Outering Road and residents without cars either walk or take a boda boda from the junction for Sh50 or more.


Housing

The estates has some of best Bungalows to town houses and beautiful modern flats which are considered to be the order of the day. Rental houses in this area go for Sh8,000 to Sh12,000 for a bed-sitter or studio apartment, Sh15,000 to Sh20,000 for one-bedroom houses and Sh25,000 and above for two bedroom houses.
