Lagos Living Has Changed Permanently
The dream used to be big: duplexes, penthouses, sprawling compounds. But in today’s Lagos, the smart dream is compact efficient, profitable, and future-ready.
Enter the studio apartment: a space where simplicity meets sophistication.
As rent skyrockets and land prices surge, studio apartments are emerging as the perfect bridge between affordability and wealth creation.
They’re not just homes; they’re income generators, lifestyle solutions, and future investments all in one.
What Is a Studio Apartment?
A studio apartment is a self-contained living space with a bedroom, kitchenette, and bathroom all designed efficiently to maximize comfort and functionality.
Think of it as luxury compressed.
One open space = less cost
More privacy = higher rental demand
Lower maintenance = more profit
Lagos Reality: The Space Crunch
With Lagos’s population now over 22 million, finding affordable accommodation is like finding gold.
Rents are rising faster than salaries, and developers are racing to build more compact, cost-effective housing units.
Studio apartments have become the answer to:
- Young professionals seeking independence
- Students and corps members needing short stays
- Investors wanting quick rental returns
- Small families starting out

In simple terms: studio apartments are the new oil wells of Lagos real estate.
Story: How Ada Turned ₦5 Million into ₦200,000 Monthly
Ada, a digital marketer, wanted to invest but didn’t have ₦20m for a 3-bedroom flat. Through Abulesowo Realtors, she bought a studio apartment in Awoyaya for ₦5m.
She furnished it with modern fittings and listed it on Airbnb.
Now she earns ₦200,000+ monthly from short-let guests, mostly visiting professionals and couples.
“While others complain about rent, my apartment pays me rent every month,” she says with a smile.
Why Studio Apartments Make Smart Sense
1. Affordable Entry Point
Instead of saving for years for a big house, you can own a studio apartment with an installment plan.
3. High Rental Demand
More Lagosians are choosing privacy and convenience over shared apartments.
3. Short-Let Profitability
Platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com have made short-term leasing a thriving business.
4. Low Maintenance, High Return
Smaller space = lower maintenance = higher profit margins.
5. Quick Resale Value
Studio apartments are easy to resell because of their affordability and constant demand.
Real Case Study: Lekki Studio Boom
In Lekki Phase 2, the average rent for a studio apartment was ₦700,000 in 2020. By 2025, it’s ₦1.4 million.
That’s a 100% appreciation in 5 years, outperforming even some land investments in the same region.
Investors who bought early are now cashing out quietly but consistently.
