Obalende is excellent if you work on the Island or in VI—you're literally at the border of both areas. You can walk to many VI offices in 15-20 minutes, and you're right in the heart of Lagos Island business district. The massive advantage is affordable rent compared to VI or central Ikoyi while being equally close to work. The challenge is noise and congestion from the bus terminal—it's constantly busy with commuters and transport activity. If you don't mind the hustle and bustle and prioritize saving money while staying close to work, Obalende delivers. Just know it's not a quiet residential area—it's a transport hub first, residential second.
