Lagos › Ikotun
Ikotun is a dense residential suburb in Alimosho LGA, sitting on the Ikotun-Egbeda corridor in western Lagos Mainland and one of the Mainland's most affordable residential areas. Two-bedroom flats rent from ₦150,000–₦450,000 per year. Power supply from PHCN is poor — generator backup is the norm. Some streets flood during heavy rain. Ikotun Market is one of the area's primary commercial anchors. Bus and danfo services run to Ikeja, Oshodi, and Lagos Island throughout the day — journey times of 45–75 minutes depending on traffic. Best for very budget-conscious renters and families who work in western Lagos Mainland or the informal economy, and for investors seeking affordable land in Alimosho LGA.
