If you had to choose between Lekki and Mowe for your next property investment, where would you put your money?
On one hand, Lekki is known for its prestige, vibrant city buzz, and consistently high rental demand. It has become one of Lagos’ most desirable locations, attracting investors who want steady returns and premium value. But with these perks come higher entry costs, which means you need strong capital to take advantage of Lekki’s opportunities.
On the other hand, Mowe offers affordability, growth potential, and a quieter lifestyle. Located along the Lagos-Ibadan axis, Mowe is steadily emerging as an investment hub for Nigerians seeking affordable housing outside Lagos’ premium areas. Its land and property prices are far more accessible, making it attractive for first-time investors and long-term growth seekers.
The choice between Lekki and Mowe ultimately depends on your goals. Are you looking for prestige and immediate rental income? Lekki is your go-to. Or do you prefer affordability and the potential for strong appreciation as development spreads? Then Mowe could be the smarter play.
