Investors and real estate developers are going down to Mombasa and its environs to buy and construct houses. This has sparked the development of homes targeted at the middle-class.
Mombasa, the second largest city in Kenya after the capital city of Nairobi, is situated on the South- Eastern side of Kenya and is the smallest county in Kenya, measuring 229.9 SQKM. It is bordered by Kwale County to the West, Kilifi County to the East, and the Indian Ocean to the South. The county consists of 6 constituencies: Jomvu, Changamwe, Likoni, Nyali, Kisauni, and Mvita, but is broadly divided into Mombasa Island and the Mainland by the Indian Ocean. It has a relatively high population growth. Economically, the county is poised as one of the regional leaders in terms of maritime trade within the continent where Mombasa Port is the largest seaport in East and Central Africa. Moreover, Mombasa is one of the leading tourist destinations in East Africa due to its location adjacent to the Indian Ocean
