across Lagos,
and Ikorodu isn’t an exception.

to, whatever it is that
is the
driving force, it
is really
important that you are armed with the right information.
Here
are some facts you can use;

1. Ikorodu Is Densely Populated

Ikorodu
might be
in the outskirt of Lagos compared to places like Ikeja, Ketu or
even Oshodi
, but it is still packed with humans like almost every other part of the
megacity
.

people
who may find a need for your investment.

Gets Heavy

amongst
others are places famous for their problems of very heavy traffics at peak hours of the day. It might interest you to know that Ikorodu also has this problem. In fact, driving in Ikorodu can be so frustrating you might want to give up.
This is obtainable mostly in the mornings as workers rush to
work and children go to school
, and also
towards the evenings as residents return to their homes.

3. Roads Are Terrible In Both Seasons

 As Nigerians, it is not
strange at all to see bad and dilapidated roads.
This is the case in some areas in
Ikorodu. The rainy season and the dry seasons are both culprit of discomfort. The
Odoguyan bus
stop road for instance in Ikorodu, can be so bad during the rainy seasons
that you might want to boycott it
.
The dry season isn’t an exception of discomfort too, as the
bad roads gets dusty with
every vehicle that passes leaving a swirl of dust
behind
.

4.Rent Is Relatively Cheap In Ikorodu

you know
you might not be making a fortune from it just yet. This is because when it comes to the
issue of rents, some people may not want to pay a premium for an apartment the
way people in the main Lagos Towns do. This may be attributed to the economy;
so care has to be taken in knowing how much you want to invest in your house
so
you won’t be disappointed with how much it makes
.

5. There is Power Supply In Nearly All Parts of Ikorodu

If there is anything the people in Ikorodu can
boast of, it is the fact that there is nearly constant power supply. When
compared to what holds sway in places
in Lagos Mainland – like Yaba, Gbagada,and
Ojota, amongst others, Ikorodu
ranks higher with power supply. As such if the
idea of using your generators minimally sounds good to you, you may want to
intensify plans to own a property in Ikorodu.

6. Housing Development Is Taking Over Ikorodu

There is a scramble
for real estate in Ikorodu
,
as people who
already have properties do not mind acquiring more. This is because to a good extent the
town is developed.
Amongst
suburbs like Mowe, Agabara, and the most interior parts of Akute, some people
prefer to own properties in Ikorodu.
If you are operating on a shoe string budget, and
are looking for a place where you can get a pocket friendly land, then you may
want to look within Ikorodu. More and more people are acquiring lands there. It
might interest you to know that for as little as 250,000 you can get a half
plot of land
in places
like Igbogbo, Ijede, Ogijo, Eruwen, amongst other places

today
.
This however might
not be the case tomorrow.
