Lekki Peninsula, east of Victoria Island, is
a rapidly growing area on the coast. Its
sandy beaches, including Lekki/Eleko
Beach and Oso Lekki Backwaters, and
relics of Brazilian/Portuguese and other
imposing architecture make it a tourism
goldmine.
Housing in Lekki is usually in blocks of adjoining flats. Most homes are furnished with running water and electricity. A standard three-bedroom flat rents for N800,000-N2.5 million per annum.
The area is poorly served by buses and taxis as most residents have their own car. Due to its proximity to the Epe Bridge and the Lagos/Sagamu/Benin
expressway, Lekki is also the gateway to
southeast Nigeria. The popular Ilasan
market, otherwise known as Lekki market
by expatriates, sells fruit, vegetables, art
and artifacts from Nigeria and other parts
of west Africa.
However, prices are generally higher here than in other parts of the city. The Anap Ranch at kilometre 42 on Epe Expressway sells imported Dutch stock meat (a brand of imported beef), excellent ground beef, bone/rib steaks and rump roast. Lekki also has a seaside pleasure garden and water sports.
