Festac Town

Festac Town is one of Lagos's most iconic planned residential estates, built for the 1977 Second World Festival of African Arts and Culture (FESTAC '77).

The estate still benefits from its PHCN feeder and many blocks run generator backup — typical daily power is 10–16 hours. Flooding risk is low in the well-drained estate interior. Festac has a vibrant local market, several schools, and the Nigerian Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research. Close to the international airport (15 minutes). Best for middle-income families who want structured estate living with strong community character on the western Mainland.
