A Tatu City show home priced at USD 300,000, roughly KSh 38.5 million, has divided Kenyans online after a walkthrough video by Nairobi Luxury Homes went viral, with many questioning why a property marketed in Kenya looks more like something lifted from a London suburb.

The video, shared on Instagram under the caption "What USD 300k gets you in Kenya Part 2," takes viewers through a fully furnished unit featuring a double sink, a four-burner cooker with hood, Bosch appliances including a microwave and built-in oven, and space sized for a side-by-side refrigerator.
