With a budget of ₦1,000,000, you can still get a decent self-contain or even a mini flat in certain parts of Lagos.

Here’s what that budget realistically covers:

📍 Yaba

If you search properly, ₦1m can get you a neat self-contain in areas slightly off the main road. Yaba is central, close to tech hubs, and good for young professionals. Just expect older buildings unless you stretch your budget.

📍 Ikeja

In some parts of Ikeja, especially outside GRA, ₦1m can still secure a modest self-contain. Mini flats may require negotiation or slightly less prime locations.

📍 Ajah

Ajah gives you more space for your money compared to central locations. ₦1m here can get you a fairly comfortable self-contain, and sometimes a small mini flat depending on the exact street and estate.
