Why Are Lekki Rentals So Expensive?
Lekki is one of the most expensive residential areas in Lagos. Demand for modern apartments, security, and proximity to business hubs keeps rental prices high. A 4-bedroom apartment in parts of Lekki can cost millions per year depending on the location and facilities available.
This is why many entertainers and young professionals either move to cheaper areas or look for long-term deals like Carter Efe’s 3-year arrangement.

Carter Efe’s reported deal shows how long-term leases can reduce the yearly cost compared to standard annual payments.
