As development activity across the real estate sector in Lagos picks up, a key emerging hotspot has been Yaba. 

As home to over 40% of the tertiary institutions in Lagos coupled with its fairly affordable prices, Yaba is the most preferred location of choice for accommodation by majority of the students. 

As a result, the area has seen heightened demand for residential housing due to its ease of access. 2-bedroom apartment rents for example, had a c.25% increase between 2017 and 2022 underpinned by rising demand by young professionals and students. 

In this Report, we focus on 3 key reasons why Yaba is emerging as a student accommodation hotspot. In addition, we reveal the existing supply deficit in the market as a potential entry point for developers. We also highlight key insights from market players on their sentiments for the student housing market in Lagos.
