2 Bedrooms for Rent in Lekki Phase 1

A 2 Bedrooms flat in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos will cost you ₦10,000,000 to ₦20,000,000 per year. Budget-friendly units start around ₦10,000,000, while modern properties in serviced estates with gyms, pools, and reliable power can reach ₦20,000,000. How close you are to the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge matters a lot—properties near the bridge cost more because of the easier VI commute. Estate facilities and whether it's furnished also impact the final price.

Lagos property terminology can be confusing, but here's clarity: "flat" and "apartment" are synonymous in Nigerian real estate. Both describe independent residential units in buildings with multiple occupants. The terms come from British English influence ("flat") and American English ("apartment"), but locally they're completely interchangeable when you're searching for 2 bedroom flats in Lekki Phase 1.

Most Lekki Phase 1 properties come both ways. Unfurnished units cost ₦10,000,000 to ₦20,000,000 annually. If you need furniture, appliances, and electronics included, budget ₦1,300,000 to ₦2,500,000 more per year—that's typically 20-40% more than bare units. Some estates here offer serviced apartments with regular cleaning and maintenance included, which costs even more. Use ExpertListing's filters to narrow down by furnishing status.

Lekki Phase 1 properties generally include gated estate security, standby generators, borehole water supply, parking spaces, and compound maintenance. Better estates have swimming pools, gyms, children's play areas, and basketball courts. You'll find prepaid meters and water treatment systems are standard. Newer developments feature coworking spaces, event halls, and some even have their own shopping areas. Not all estates are equal though—the closer to the Link Bridge, the better the infrastructure tends to be. Always check specific amenities with property owners on ExpertListing.

All property owners on our platform are pre-screened, and you'll see verification status on listings. But take these extra steps: One, visit the property using our map feature to confirm it exists. Two, ask for the C of O or Governor's Consent and verify its authenticity. Three, make sure the person you're dealing with actually owns the property or is a verified agent. Four, don't pay anything without a proper tenancy agreement in writing. Five, keep all your communication on ExpertListing's messaging so there's a record.

Traffic can be rough, especially mornings (7-10am) and evenings (5-8pm) along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. But the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge is a game changer if you're working in VI. It cuts your commute significantly compared to those stuck on the main expressway. Many people here work flexible hours or leave super early (before 6:00am) to beat traffic. If you're working in Lekki itself or VI with bridge access, Phase 1 is very manageable. If you're going to Mainland daily, you might want to reconsider unless you're okay spending 2-3 hours in go-slow every day.
