Text the word 'NEWS' to 22840The shift in investor focus to Ngata has partly been driven by the flight from Nakuru town due to its relatively higher prices. Nakuru town has the highest land price in the county, with an asking price of Sh12.4 million per acre, which is roughly double Ngata’s land price. Ngata’s proximity to Nakuru town - it is about 10 kilometres from Nakuru and 25 minutes by public transport - has been key in attracting investors in residential homes and drawing town commuters. The construction of the Itare Dam has also been a factor in drawing land buyers to Ngata.
