Land prices remain relatively affordable compared to central Kisumu, with options for both residential and commercial development.

Nyakach Constituency, with its five diverse wards, is experiencing significant infrastructure investment, particularly in road access and water projects. These developments are likely to enhance property values over time and improve living conditions for residents who have historically faced challenges with water scarcity and transportation.
