The first thing I love about Ikota Villa Estate is its close proximity to Lekki, Victoria Island, and Ikoyi. It gives you access to enjoy Lagos city island. Not to mention its affordability. Middle-income earners can afford to buy or rent a property within the Estate. Yes, you don’t have to break the bank to live in Lekki.
Ikota Villa Estate is located beside the well-known Mega Chicken restaurant along the Lekki-Epe expressway way about a 6-minute drive after the Ajah jubilee bridge.
