Safetrust Estate

Located in the heart of Amuwo-Odofin, Safetrust Estate is a well-serviced, gated residential community. It offers a mix of apartments, duplexes, and bungalows in a secure setting with good road access and proximity to banks, supermarkets, and transport links. This is one of the most sought-after addresses in the LGA.

Satellite Town

Satellite Town is a large, well-planned estate developed in the 1970s as one of the earliest government-planned communities in Lagos. It offers a quieter, more suburban feel than central Lagos, with wide roads, established infrastructure, and a strong community character. Property prices remain relatively affordable compared to Lekki and VI.

Festac Town

Festac Town — originally developed to host the 1977 Festival of African Culture — is one of Lagos's most iconic residential areas. Phase 1 and Phase 2 offer a mixture of terraced houses, bungalows, and blocks of flats. Close to Mile 2 expressway, FESTAC link bridge, and multiple commercial centres.

Mile 2

Mile 2 is a major commercial and residential hub on the Lagos Badagry Expressway. It offers excellent transport connections to both Lagos Island and the Mainland. Property prices are reasonable, and the area has seen steady development in recent years.

Apple Junction

Apple Junction sits at the intersection of the Mile 2 and Amuwo-Odofin areas. It has become a popular address for young professionals and growing families due to its central location, good road access, and proximity to markets, schools, and workplaces.

Amuwo-Odofin Estate (Scheme 1 and 2)
