| Service charge | Estate services and managed compounds can add meaningful recurring costs, though usually below top premium districts. | ||

| Move-in note | For a mid-band 2 bedroom home here, launch budgeting should assume a cash outlay closer to NGN 5,175,000 to NGN 5,850,000 once rent, agency, legal, caution, and service charge are combined. | ||
