Choosing the right area is one of the biggest shortlet decisions you will make in Lagos. A strong unit in the wrong location can still underperform.

Diaspora arrivals, weekend clustering, event traffic, family travel, corporate end-of-year movement, and leisure bookings all collide in the same window.
