Kutus, Kirinyaga County: Growing Rental Hub in the Foothills of Mt. Kenya

Kutus, the administrative center of Kirinyaga County, is gradually becoming a property gem in central Kenya. This county town is located between fertile agricultural lands and the foothills of Mt. Kenya, making it a relaxing semi-urban place in high demand for quality rentals. With expanding infrastructure and business, tenants are coming to Kutus as government employees, teachers, university students, and agribusiness professionals, amongst others.

Due to its proximity to the Kerugoya-Kutus-Kianyaga road, the town's strategic access is enhanced compared to neighboring urban centers such as Kerugoya and Embu. Kutus is a town with hospitals, schools, banks, and local markets within walking distance, which makes it an ideal place to stay whether you are a family or a working professional who does not want to leave all the necessities.

Kutus presents an emergent opportunity for landlords, landladies, and property agents. With the influx of educational establishments in the region, such as campuses and training colleges, there is more demand for bedsitters, single rooms, and furnished apartments. Real estate developers have started investing in gated units and townhouses to cater to the needs of lifestyle-changing tenants.

Posting properties online, the landlords of Kutus will have the potential to acquire renters outside the county - civil servants moving to Kirinyaga, entrepreneurs developing in nearby markets and young professionals seeking more relaxed, less polluted living conditions than are afforded in Nairobi.

Kutus is not only an ideal place to reside, but also a good investment area in terms of renting and property investment maybe within the long-term view in Kirinyaga County
