Most town folks have this phobia of living in ‘shagz‘ but is it rational? It’s probably known that people in rural areas live simpler lives compared to those in urban areas. However, why do Kenyans dislike the idea of settling in ‘ocha‘ while there are so many benefits to living in the countryside?
1) Fresh air
Now there’s something you don’t get in the town; the great feeling of walking out your front door in the morning and being met with a lovely face full of fresh air. Look all around you, there’s nothing except fresh air, and the warm friendly glow of the sun.
2) Less traffic
Who wants to live in a bustling town, constantly droning of traffic? No, what you want is the countryside, which has little or no traffic. No cars, no vans, no busses, no trains, no public transport at all, really. In fact, the only traffic there’ll be will be you, in the car you’ve had to buy, insure and tax in order to get yourself and your family around the place.
3) More peace and quiet
Tired of having friends and family checking in on you all the time? Have no fear of anything like that in the country, you’ll be separated from your friends by miles and miles of countryside, perfectly alone with your thoughts in a one-bedroom apartment in Kericho that was on the market for kes 2.5M.
4) Lots of space for the kids
Your kids will be able to play in their very own house, and not an apartment parking. Moreover, your children will have enough space to run around without the fear of cars driving around.
5) More fresh air
Look, we hate to labour the point, but fresh air is better for you than living in the city. You’re not in a position to argue with us right now, we have some great countryside homes and plots waiting for you.
