Spring Valley is located approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) northwest of Nairobi's central business district. It borders the Barton and the Kyuna neighbourhoods.
Spring Valley was zoned as a low-density neighbourhood, but over the years residential flats were allowed. Single family residential units are more common in Upper Spring Valley.[2] It was an exclusive neighbourhood prior to the revision of zoning regulations that is inhabited by a high-income segment of Nairobi residents. It has slowly become more middle-class as the mushrooming of flats started. It has a mixture of modern, old and pre-modern architecture.[3]
As per the 2019 census, Spring Valley had a population of 6,804, with a population density of 2,432/km2 in a land area of 2.8km2.[1]
