Gwarimpa


Gwarimpa may not be as expensive as the 4 aforementioned districts we have discussed, as they are reserved for the Nigerian Elite. While Gwarinpa is reserved for the average Nigerians. 

Gwarimpa is known as the largest housing estate in West Africa, and the rents are affordable for an average Nigerian. The downside of this district is the social life, as it comes as expensive as you get. if you are the one that loves to socialize and entertain your family and friends you might want to slow the fun down.

with a bugdet of 900, 000 one can rent a 2bedroom flat in Gwarimpa district
