Overview

Makadara is generally a high-density housing and low-income to middle-income neighbourhood with a mixture of mid-rises and old bungalows. Residents of Makadara struggle with limited infrastructure, with unpaved roads in some areas and insufficient water.[1][2]

Makadara Constituency and Makadara Sub-county both borrow their names from the estate. Both are electoral and administrative divisions of Nairobi.[3]
