Living in Kiyovu

Kiyovu is the most walkable residential pocket in Kigali, sitting immediately below the CBD with old shaded streets, embassies and a growing number of serviced apartments.

Getting around

You can walk into the city centre in minutes. Bus routes and motos are constant along the main avenues, so many renters here skip owning a car.

What's nearby

  • Kigali city centre offices, banks and the main post office
  • Hôtel des Mille Collines and surrounding restaurants
  • Nyarugenge market and pharmacies within walking distance

Before you sign — ask about this

  • Older houses are charming but check plumbing and roof condition during the visit.
  • Traffic noise varies a lot street to street — visit once in the morning peak.
  • Short-stay units here often quote nightly rates; ask what the monthly rate would be.
