By the time the Blue Line of Lagos’ light rail project is completed (by June 2013 according to Lagos State Governor Raji Fashola ), from Mile 2, Amuwo-Odofin, Festac Town and Satellite Town one will be able to get to Marina in about 35 minutes! The Blue line will connect Marina to Okokomaiko, with stations at Marina, Ebute Ero, Iddo, National Theatre, Iganmu, Alaba, Mile 2, Festac, Alakija, Trade Fair, Volkswagen, LASU and Okokomaiko for commuters to board or alight.

We therefore take a look at the Estates along the axis such as Amuwo Odofin, Festac and Satellite Town in order to reveal what is available for rent in the property market along Badagry Expressway.

Amuwo Odofin: There are a number of LSDPC low cost housing estates in this area, including the Amuwo Odofin Estate which was built by former Lagos State Governor Lateef Jakande. Amuwo-Odofin Low Cost Housing Estate has hundreds of 2-storey blocks of flat of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. This estate has some good roads, sports ground and a number of shops used for commercial activities. Other estates in Amuwo Odofin are: Lake View Estate, Greenfield Estate, Divine Estate, Millennium Estate, Raji Rasaki Estate, Midland Estate, Bola Tinubu Estate, Akeem Agboola Estate, Crystal Estate and Anchorage Estate.

N350k-N500k
Options open to you within this budget are mainly in the Amuwo Low Cost Housing Estate. There you can have 2 or 3 bedroom flat. Flats on the ground floor are often priced higher than the first or second floor because the ground floor enjoys a small balcony and it is easy to access.

N800k – N3m
The estates in Amuwo Odofin GRA are at your reach within this budget. There are flats, duplexes and bungalows available in some of the estates in the GRA.  You can go for a 3 bedroom flat in Raji Rasaki Estate which is available at N900k per annum. The estate was built by the former military administrator of Lagos State Government Colonel Raji Rasaki in the early 80's. Houses built in the estate were majorly duplexes on one storey building.

He noted that the completion of the project had enabled lighting-up programme that spans parts of the state from Marina to Western Avenue through Agege Motor Road to Oshodi.
