The Ownership Path – Powered by Abulesowo Realtors.
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.
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
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:
According to the Lagos Property Trends Report (2025):
Studio apartments in Lekki, Ajah, and Ikeja have a 95% occupancy rate.
Average rent has increased by 45% in 3 years.
Investors earn up to 15–20% annual ROI through short-lets or long-term leases.
Airbnb and short-let demand in Lagos is up 60% year-over-year.
In simple terms: studio apartments are the new oil wells of Lagos real estate.
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.
Instead of saving for years for a big house, you can own a studio apartment with an installment plan.
More Lagosians are choosing privacy and convenience over shared apartments.
Platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com have made short-term leasing a thriving business.
Smaller space = lower maintenance = higher profit margins.
Studio apartments are easy to resell because of their affordability and constant demand.
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.
Now everyone wanted a big house. Now, people want freedom, functionality, and flexibility.
Studio apartments deliver all three.
Professionals get independence without long commutes.
Investors get constant income streams.
Developers save cost while meeting demand.
