For sanity and mental state, Magodo leads.

FreeStuffsNG:
You mean the best of the 3
Magodo has easy access to Island too. Gbagada seems more central between Ikeja and Island. If you will be in transit between Ikeja and Island then go for Gbagada.

Not true.
Gbagada to Ikeja should be around 400
Magodo to Ikeja is around ,200
Gbagada to Lekki is 800 to 1000
Magodo to Lekki is 600 to 1000

OfficialMrOt:
Moving to Lagos and I have thought about these 3 places
Gbagada: with easy access to island
Magodo: easy access to Ikeja
Surulere: this I have no idea

Between these places which is better to live ?

Surulere easy access to national stadium.

Ikeja GRA(shonibare estate)
Maryland
Magodo
Old Yaba
Surulere(Ogulana Drive, Adeniran ogunsanya, Bode Thomas, Masha, and maybe Akerele)

pongwa:
you get money?

I swear...I bliv he wants to leave wt som1 😆😆 but if u hv ur money n relocatin to Lagos den picking dis areas...Just hold ur 3M for rent

Revolva:


very correct surulere in the most center part of lagos and also Apapa and AJegunle....from here you can link to the island easily.......Yaba is not part of surulere o abeg, as from tejuosho market is under lagos mainland local govt ok, surulere have the good bad and ugly .....porsh places around bode thomas and adelabu areas and slums in coker orile and ijesha areas

well I can agree with you that Yaba is not part of Surulere..but you see from tejuosho forget the lcda or local government demarcation..it's all Surulere till itire till coker according to history..why is national stadium call Surulere..why is ojuelegba Surulere? Surulere and yaba with ebute metta were all under Lagos mainland local government.

JuanDeDios:

Ha, but phase 1 is just as good naa. We phase 1 people are in Magodo too!

No vex 🫡🤣🤣

Surelere should not be compared to anywhere in Kagos.

LDaVinci:

At all oh. Not any more. But I can always guide you around the great Suru City.
Mafia City of life.

Alright boss.

I am moving for greener pastures.

I am web developer. Hope I can find works there and enjoy the mafia life

Wickedfact:
Magodo Phase 2 is better than Surulere and Gbagada combined and multiplied by 24

Thank you my brother/sister..Anyone who has lived in Magodo GRA Phase 2 will not even think of living in either Gbagada or Surulere if the cassh is there..Good life is good mehn

surulere is the center of excellence
I choose surulere

Bro choose Magodo o, o boy that place is big and lots of private security up and down, infact the palace dey so serene, u go forget say u dey lag,
But the pepper for house there na baba, take to get house there, u must hold yr side

SocialJustice:
Won't you ask if he can afford it? I 2014 or so, rent was already over N1m for 2 bedroom. Magodo or Shangisha.

Magodo is expensive but worth it though..For the op to be considering Magodo, maybe he has some bars

SmartyPants:


There is a slum component of Gbagada sir. Ifako and it's environs

Ifako no be gbagada na

Those are bariga extensions lol

If you enter the real Gbagada you'll know It's a place for the rich.

I live around there And I walk through the estate in the evening to remind myself to hustle more

Yankee101:
Just hear the names

The sweetest sounding is the best if you can afford it

Sweetest sounding is definitely Magodo 🙌🙌

merits:
Surulere easy access to national stadium.

SHITTA SURULERE

nysot:

Surulere

Go to egbeda

Yankee101:


Surulere

Lol, Surulere sounds like be patient your time is coming 🤣🤣🤣, Magodo sounds Magnificent 👌🤗..Surulere is ok sha, but for serenity,it can't be compared to Magodo GRA Phase 2

Surulere for sure,magodo is s glorified prison yard for looters politicians and fraud boyz

Ifako is contiguous with Bariga, true, but still, ifako is under Gbagada generally. The areas you are talking about are Gbagada estate phase 1 and 2, and yes those are pretty cool areas, I agree.

ThierryJay:


Magodo is the poshest/classiest of the three. Completely upscale and no mix with slums and also relatively the most secure. It is also the most expensive. Closest to Ikeja but farthest from the Island. Gbagada also has very good housing estates but it's mixed with the rough and not so secure areas as well. Its central location with easy access to Ikeja and Island is a plus.Surulere is the biggest by far and has a mix of the very good to the very bad. In of liveliness, it is the best but also the least secure. It's also the closest to the Island.Ogudu GRA is also another very decent place to stay, but it's more like Gbagada in assessment.Ikeja GRA, Omole phases 1 & 2 are other sweet posh and serene locations to live in Mainland Lagos.

FESTAC and Yaba nko?

Surulere is within walking distance of the island. Magodo is Posh and Gbagada is between Magodo and Surulere

As for rent in these places, what's the AVERAGE PRICE for a one to two bedrooms house in these places?

OkwuruOKARISIA:
How much fit be nice 2 bedroom flat in Gbagada?, what's the price range?

You should be able to get from 1m upward, Based on how tastefully finished

Three million for what kind of apartment?

YoshihideSuga:

FESTAC and Yaba nko?

These are the regular Mainland hustle and bustling areas. There are some cool estate spots in Festac though. Yaba's housing system is old and too tight yet relatively expensive. But Yaba is a better central location than Festac and is sometimes considered to be an extension of Surulere.

I relocated from phc , to Lagos, now based in Surulere. About 18 mins drive to island o, if no traffic and lesser to Ikeja or there about. The good thing with Surulere, we can use third mainland or eko bridge, incase of road wahala. I stay at Ogunlana drive o, rent here na die. I leave the office by 5pm, get home before 6pm, my colleague leaving in Gbagada waits till 7pm because of traffic, the one at magodo leaves 5pm get to her house after me have taken dinner and bath o. shine your eye

Everything depends on your budget,and your class. If you're okay,I hope you know what I mean,I'll advise you go for Magodo - it's the best of the three.

Common sense now. Avoid Island because of flood.

MAGODO

Ikea81:
Magodo. No comperi

Exactly. I laughed when I saw Gbagada and Surulere
