Verified rentals in Kenya.
Fewer dead ends, more homes.
House hunting at the comfort of your old home.
Skip the stale WhatsApp groups and Facebook posts. Browse real listings by area, price, and bedrooms, join the waitlist on a home that's taken, and get notified the moment your next place opens up.
House-hunting without the guesswork
Everything a WhatsApp group can't give you: it's actually up to date.
Listings that are actually available
Our team checks in on listings weekly, so "available" on SomePlaced means available — not a house that was taken three weeks ago.
Never miss a home again
Found a place that's occupied? Join an ordered waitlist and get first refusal, with a holding window the moment it frees up.
Set it and forget it
Save your search once as an alert — area, price, bedrooms — and get pinged automatically when a matching home appears. No more daily scrolling.
From search to signed lease
Search & filter
Browse by area, price, bedrooms, and property type — real-time availability, no dead links.
Unlock the details
Found the one? Pay a small fee (1% of the monthly rent) to unlock the lister's contact and download a branded PDF with the full listing details.
Move in
Reach out directly, or sit on the waitlist and get notified the moment it's your turn.
What's house hunting really costing you?
Adjust the numbers to match your own hunt — the totals update as you type.
Regular house hunting
Plus 20 hours of your time, and the tiredness of trekking from site to site.

Browse, shortlist, and call — all from wherever you already are.
Want it done for you, start to finish?

Built for the Kenyan rental market, starting where the need is greatest.
Browsing is free. You only pay when you're ready to reach a real lister.
Frequently asked questions
Is browsing SomePlaced free?
Yes. Searching and filtering listings costs nothing. You only pay a small fee — 1% of the monthly rent — when you're ready to unlock a lister's contact details.
How do I know a listing is actually still available?
Our team actively re-checks listings on a weekly cycle. Listings that go stale or unreachable are flagged and pulled, so "available" on SomePlaced means available.
What happens if the home I want is occupied?
Join its waitlist. You're placed in an ordered queue and notified with a holding window the moment the unit is vacated, so you get first refusal instead of a dead end.
What's SomePlaced Concierge?
A paid, fully hands-off service — a dedicated agent finds, vets, and shortlists homes for you for a flat fee, with daily updates until you're settled.
Is payment secure?
All payments run through Paystack, supporting cards and M-Pesa/Airtel mobile money. We never see or store your card or mobile money PIN.
Which areas do you cover?
We're starting in Nairobi and expanding from there as verified listings grow in more areas.
Can I list my property on SomePlaced?
Yes — sign up as a lister to post units, manage your waitlist, and get found by hunters actively searching your area.
