"Flat" or "apartment"—which should you search for in Ikate? Either one works because they mean the same thing here. Both refer to self-contained living spaces within larger residential buildings. The terminology doesn't affect what you'll find. Focus instead on differentiating flats/apartments from houses (standalone buildings), duplexes (two-floor units), or self-contain rooms (single rooms with facilities).

You'll find both throughout Ikate. Empty units run ₦4,500,000 to ₦15,000,000 annually. Furnished properties with quality appliances, contemporary furniture, and complete fixtures cost an additional ₦2,200,000 to ₦5,400,000 more per year—roughly 25-40% higher than bare units.

Ikate is where Lagos's young, social crowd concentrates. You've got bars, clubs, and lounges literally everywhere—you can walk to entertainment instead of dealing with Lagos traffic on weekends. The restaurant scene is incredible with options for every budget and cuisine. Beach access at Elegushi or Oniru is 5-10 minutes away. Multiple gyms, spas, and wellness spots exist. You're close enough to Lekki Phase 1 and VI for work (15-20 and 30-40 minutes respectively), but weekends you're already where the action is. The crowd skews young, ambitious, and social—lots of networking happens naturally. The downside is noise from entertainment venues, especially weekends, and higher rent than quieter Lekki areas. But if you're in your 20s-30s, working hard and wanting to play hard, Ikate delivers Lagos's best work-life balance.
