For sale buyers, Ajah offers a realistic entry into Lagos Island-adjacent ownership — 2-bedroom apartments from ₦30m, semi-detached houses from ₦55m, and detached houses in gated estates from ₦80m–₦120m. For renters, 2-bedroom flats run ₦1.2m–₦2.5m per annum, significantly below Lekki Phase 1 equivalents. Short-let guests find good-value furnished apartments from ₦25,000–₦70,000 per night.
Power supply is predominantly generator-dependent — confirm backup arrangements and service charges before committing to any property.

Always insist on C of O and verify via the Lagos State Lands Bureau before making any payment.
The long-term capital appreciation thesis for Ajah is anchored by the Lekki–Epe Expressway expansion, continued development activity toward the Ibeju-Lekki Industrial Zone, and the area's established role as the first affordable step on the Lagos Island property ladder.
