Kileleshwa is a residential neighbourhood in the city of Nairobi. It is located approximately  from Nairobi's central business district.

It hosts mainly the upper middle class segment of the Nairobi residents. Location
Kileleshwa is located approximately  west of Nairobi's central business district, within the larger sub-county of Westlands. It is east of Lavington; south of Muthangari; west of Kilimani, mainly separated by the Kirichwa River. Overview
The neighbourhood was established as a whites-only residential area by the British colonialists in the mid 20th century. It was not until the 1960s when it was racially integrated. The neighbourhood has historically been primarily low-density residential, but since early 2000s, Kileleshwa and its environs have become increasingly high-density mixed residential and commercial; both retail and offices, due to the zoning laws in the area being changed. Some of the high-rise buildings have been built contrary to the county's bylaws and have been characterised as vertical slums due to them burdening the existing laid infrastructure. Kileleshwa, an electoral ward within the Dagoretti North Constituency, borrows its name from the estate, encompassing other estates and neighbourhoods such as: Chiromo, Groganville, Kileleshwa, Muthangari and Riverside. As per the 2019 census, Kileleshwa had a population of 22,216, with a population density of 4,229/km2 in a land area of 5.3km2. Points of interest
