Layout
Most 2-bedroom flats in Ikotun offer 2 bedrooms, 1 or 2 bathrooms, a sitting room, and a kitchen. Newer estate blocks typically include a small store and better-finished bathrooms.
Power Supply
PHCN supply in Ikotun is inconsistent — 4–10 hours per day in most areas. Newer estate buildings have shared generator backup; compound buildings vary. Ask the landlord explicitly about generator availability and cost-sharing.
Water
Most buildings rely on borehole water with overhead storage tanks. LSWC pipe supply is unreliable in many parts of Ikotun. Confirm borehole quality and pump maintenance responsibility before signing.

Estate blocks typically have gatemen and compound security. Road security in the Alimosho corridor is functional. Verify compound access controls and lighting before committing.

Flood Risk
Some parts of Ikotun — particularly near drainage channels in Idimu and Igando — flood in heavy rain. Inspect during the rainy season (May–October) and prefer upper-floor units in low-lying areas.
