Nairobi West is zoned as a high density residential neighbourhood, with mixed residential developments such as bungalows, flats as well as maisonettes.[2] Over the years the neighbourhood has morphed into a commercial and residential neighbourhood due to the number of entertainment joints irregularly opened in the area.[3] It was a neighbourhood that is home to the middle class segment of Nairobi residents.[1][4][5]
