From my own house-hunting in Ipaja lately, here’s what I’ve noticed about prices:

Room / Self-Contain Prices

₦120,000 – ₦200,000 per year – I found some very basic, older self-contained units in Itele and Ayobo. Perfect if you just need somewhere cheap to sleep, but you have to compromise on facilities.

₦250,000 – ₦400,000 per year – This is the most common range. I stayed in one around Aboru and Iyana Ipaja. The rooms were neat, had water most days, and the environment wasn’t too noisy.

₦400,000 – ₦500,000 per year – For this price, I usually get a room with better finishes, sometimes in a gated compound with more security and steady water.

₦600,000 – ₦800,000+ per year – I only consider this if the house is newly built or very comfortable, maybe closer to main roads for convenience.
