Imara Daima
Overview
Imara Daima is zoned as a mixed residential development neighbourhood. Home to the middle-class segment of Nairobi residents, the estate is predominantly characterised by gated neighbourhoods with maisonettes and bungalows, roofed with maroon tiles. It is a sharp contrast of the neighbouring Mukuru and Pipeline slums. Other housing developments also found in Imara Daima are flats. The larger Imara Daima neighbourhood, especially along the Mombasa Road and Tegla Lorupe Road, is mixed-use with the commercial and industrial sector.
Imara Daima ward, an electoral division within Embakasi South Constituency borrows its name from the estate. The ward covers the estate to the south of Nairobi City County.
