Ogun State is one of the most popular states in Nigeria. As such, it offers people several ideal locations to live. Amongst them, its capital – Abeokuta – houses over five hundred residents. And that is no wonder. Why?
In addition to being the capital, Abeokuta is home to one of the most famous tourist spots in the country. The Olumo rock gives the town a unique scenery and historical appeal. And above all, Abeokuta provides its residents with various suitable areas where you can purchase a home.
Are you looking to settle in this town? If so, where are the best residential areas in Abeokuta? Below are three nice and suitable options you might want to consider when deciding where to live in Abeokuta.
1. Ibara
Ibara Housing Estate is one of, if not the most renowned residential areas in Abeokuta. For those living in the city (Abeokuta), this doesn’t come as a surprise. After all, Ibara is directly owned by the government and is a residential spot for its officials.
As such, the estate is well-designed and developed – even though its structure might appear a bit old. And in terms of beauty, it is almost incomparable to other areas in the capital.
What about power and road? Well, as mentioned earlier, the government owns Ibara. Hence, you don’t have to worry about bad transport routes or lack of power. If you decide to settle in Ibara, you are covered.
However, unfortunately, not everyone can make that decision, especially since the cost of housing in Ibara is more expensive in comparison with other locations in Abeokuta.
2. Laderin
If – for any reason – you feel that Ibara is not for you, you might want to check out Laderin. Located at the Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway, this estate offers its residents a constant power supply, among other things. It is rapidly developing and has become the home to several families looking for a fresh start. With a proper look into this community, you might find that it is the perfect substitute for the expensive Ibara.
3. Asero
Asero is another noteworthy option when you’re deciding which neighborhood in Abeokuta to settle in. Asero is home to the well-known Kemta Adire (Tie & Dye) market, which attracts a lot of traders to the community. Furthermore, this area is situated near FUNAAB (Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta) and FCEA (Federal College of Education, Abeokuta). Hence, it is a community brought to life by the lively nature of students.
In terms of walkability, Asero is lacking, with a walk score of twenty-one. Because of this, Asero is the perfect community for you if you own a car.
Wrapping Up
Of course, there are more suitable residential areas situated in Abeokuta. The widely-known Oke-Ilewo, which houses a branch of CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria), stands in Abeokuta. Other towns like Lukosi, Obada Oko, and Olomore are also worthy of consideration.
Without a doubt, Abeokuta offers some of the best residential areas in Nigeria. However, before you purchase a home or buy land, you need to consider a series of factors. Afterward, you can then make the perfect decision that suits you.
