Lagos, the economic powerhouse of Nigeria, continues to attract property investors, developers, and homeowners alike. With its rapid urbanization and infrastructural development, new areas are emerging as lucrative opportunities for smart investments. Here are five hotspots to watch in 2025:
- Ibeju-Lekki
Often dubbed the “New Lagos,” Ibeju-Lekki is witnessing explosive growth. Major projects like the Lekki Deep Sea Port, Dangote Refinery, and the proposed Lekki Airport are transforming the area into an investment haven. Land values are steadily rising, and it’s perfect for both residential and commercial development. - Epe
Once a quiet town, Epe is now on investors’ radar due to its strategic location close to Ibeju-Lekki and the Lagos Free Trade Zone. With increasing road network upgrades and expansion plans, Epe offers affordable land and long-term appreciation potential. - Sangotedo
Known for its proximity to high-end estates and shopping centers like Novare Mall, Sangotedo is ideal for middle-class families and rental income seekers. Gated communities, schools, and improved security have made this area a residential magnet. - Abijo GRA
Abijo Government Reserved Area offers a balance of affordability and infrastructure. It has the backing of government-planned development and is growing steadily as a residential enclave. It’s especially attractive for buyers seeking a quieter environment with easy access to Lekki. - Yaba
Yaba is fast becoming the tech hub of Lagos, sometimes referred to as Nigeria’s own “Silicon Valley.” With a young professional population, it’s a hotspot for shortlets, co-living spaces, and rental income properties.
