A four star apartment block on Mawensi Road, on the new concrete ridge above the centre, with parking, lifts and a shuttle on the list. It suits anyone whose days here are booked around a meeting room, a hospital appointment or a car, and it makes little sense if you want to walk out of the door into the evening.
01What it is
Upperhill View Palace Apartment is a four star address on Mawensi Road, and its list of facilities is written for people arriving with a car and a schedule. Parking and free car parking are both listed, along with lifts and wheelchair access, so the building assumes you will come and go by vehicle rather than on foot. There is a fitness center, an indoor pool and a kids pool, a spa, and a casino on the premises. A shuttle service is also listed, which matters on a ridge where the streets are built for the conference room.
What that adds up to at Upperhill View Palace Apartment is a self-contained stay in Upper Hill and Community, 1.03 km from the centre of Upper Hill and Community. The list is strong on the building itself, with parking, pools, a spa and a casino, and thin on anything beyond it, since the street outside offers little to walk to and the dark hours are safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. It suits a business or hospital trip where the day is already booked and the car is waiting. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out into the evening.

04Standing in Upper Hill and Community
Upper Hill and Community sits on the western ridge, not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. The street feel is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. The quarter lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That suits people here to work and people who want their evening contained. It does not suit anyone expecting street life outside the door. The streets are built for the car and the conference room, so plan to move by vehicle once the working day ends.
