Graceland Estate is a well-structured estate and a serene ambiance. Located in Ajah along the Lekki-Epe expressway, it’s about 35 minutes – 1 hour 40 minutes drive with heavy traffic from the well-known Ikoyi. But only about 30 minutes drive during the off-peak rush period. And about a 7-minute drive after the Ajah Jubilee flyover bridge, immediately after De’dem restaurant Ajah, Lagos state.
SECURITY STATUS
For an Estate where service charge is not taxed, they have done a pretty great job maintaining the estate, leveraging on the resident’s cooperation. The security status of the Greenland estate is rather impressive. A non-resident is denied entry into the estate in cases where their host does not acknowledge their presence or inform the security unit beforehand. Nonresidents are only allowed entrance into the estate when the resident/host places a call to the security checkpoint.
Residents are known with their identification cards before access is granted to them.
