Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, continues to expand beyond its traditional hubs. With urban migration, population growth, and strategic infrastructure projects shaping its real estate terrain, investing in Lagos land is one of the smartest long-term decisions you can make


According to an Instagram recommendation by pulse pick

Here are five fast-developing areas in Lagos where land is still relatively affordable, but projected to appreciate massively in value within the next few years.


1. Ibeju-Lekki: The New Lagos


Average Land Price: ₦7M – ₦30M

Why It’s Hot:Ibeju-Lekki is no longer a secret. It has transformed into Nigeria’s largest industrial hub thanks to mega-projects like:

  • Dangote Refinery

  • Lekki Deep Sea Port

  • Lekki Free Trade Zone

  • Proposed International Airport

  • Pan-Atlantic University

This axis is increasingly referred to as “the next Victoria Island,” and land prices are rising fast. Despite this, it still offers some of the best value per square metre in Lagos for medium- to long-term investors.

2. Epe: The Silent Powerhouse


Average Land Price: ₦2.5M – ₦20M

Why It’s Hot:Epe has gone from sleepy suburb to urban frontier. It benefits from:

  • The Lekki-Epe Expressway expansion

  • The Epe-Marina Waterfront Project

  • Close proximity to Ibeju-Lekki’s industrial corridor

Land here doubled in price within the past year alone. Epe is ideal for those looking for clean titles, peaceful environments, and exponential capital appreciation without the Lekki-level cost.

3. Ikorodu: Lagos Mainland’s Rising Star


Average Land Price: ₦5M – ₦25M

Why It’s Hot:Forget the old stereotypes—Ikorodu is surging with:

  • New ferry terminals and roads

  • Urban renewal projects

  • A blend of industrial and residential development

It also enjoys proximity to Lagos Lagoon and is seeing increased interest from real estate developers. For budget-conscious investors looking for serenity and access, Ikorodu is worth serious consideration.

4. Mowe–Ibafo: The Affordable Border Bet


Average Land Price: ₦4M – ₦18M

Why It’s Hot:Technically in Ogun State, but only minutes from Lagos via the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Mowe and Ibafo are experiencing spillover growth from the Lagos real estate boom.

Key perks include:

  • Low entry cost

  • Growing estate developments

  • Accessibility to both mainland and island business hubs


This area is perfect for first-time investors and those looking for gated communities on a modest budget.

5. Badagry: The Underrated Gem


Average Land Price: ₦2M – ₦20M

Why It’s Hot:Badagry is quietly being revived with:


  • The ongoing Lagos–Badagry Expressway upgrade

  • Proposed railway expansion

  • Government-backed infrastructure and tourism projects

It’s peaceful, spacious, and full of cultural heritage. As investors turn westward, Badagry is shaping up to be a major residential and tourism hub in the near future.

The smartest real estate investors in Lagos are those who bought when others called it “the bush.” Today, those “foolish” buyers are millionaires.


Before you buy:


  • Verify land titles (C of O, Gazette, Registered Survey)

  • Check for encumbrances or government acquisition

  • Use registered surveyors or legal professionals

  • Visit the Lagos State Land Registry at Alausa or online


If you’re serious about building generational wealth through Lagos real estate, the next best time to buy is now while these areas are still “developing.”
