NAIROBI: The luxury real estate market in Kenya has made great strides in recent years with a number of developers building more mansions and townhouses. This despite a report by the Kenya Bankers Association suggesting that apartments sell faster.

Townhouses are typically multi-level units adjacent to each other, so there are no people living above or below, resulting in less noise and more privacy.
