Why buy an apartment in Ruaka? Ruaka, which was formerly covered in lush flora and bare ground, is now one of Kenya’s satellite towns with the greatest population growth. Ruaka is the ideal location to escape Nairobi’s traffic because it is only 20 minutes from the city center. It boarders some of the high end areas like Runda, Kitisuru, Kiambu road, Thindigua, Two Rivers, Nyari and Rosslyn.
