As the weekend rolls in, many city dwellers begin to crave an escape from Lagos’ hustle and bustle. For some, it’s a drive to a beach resort; for others, it’s a visit to family outside the metropolis. But for an increasing number of Nigerians, especially young professionals and upwardly mobile families, the solution is simpler, smarter, and more strategic: Owning a second home.
This is the rising trend of weekend getaway properties. Compact, well-located real estate investments that offer relaxation, rental potential, and remarkable returns.
The pressures of urban living have influenced a growing number of people into looking for short-term escapes to reset, relax, and recharge. The idea of owning a private retreat, be it a cozy 2-bedroom bungalow in Lekki Avana or a luxury Bruhm Heights apartment in a quieter Lekki Foreshore axis, this has become both a lifestyle upgrade and an investment strategy.
In fact, weekend homes are no longer just luxury statements; they are smart assets. Whether you use them for your own leisure or lease them out on short-let platforms like Airbnb, their dual-purpose nature offers excellent value.
Areas like Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Sangotedo, and parts of Ogun border towns are seeing increased interest for these kinds of properties. The reasons are simple:
They are far enough to feel like a getaway.
Close enough to access in 1–2 hours from major city centers.
Still within reach of upcoming infrastructure projects (like the Lekki International Airport, the Dangote Refinery, and the coastal road expansion).
These locations offer the perfect balance of accessibility, affordability, and future appreciation.
One of the biggest draws of owning a weekend home is the passive income potential. During the weekdays or when not in personal use, these properties can be monetized for short stays or long-term tenants.
Serviced mini estates, smart apartments, and eco-friendly bungalows are all popular formats that appeal to tourists, remote workers, and expatriates alike.
Think about it, while you relax in your own property, it’s also appreciating in value. You don’t need the hotel hospitality experience when you can craft your own, gain privacy, and build equity. Over time, your weekend home could become your retirement retreat, your children’s first asset, or a consistent revenue generator.
Time off is gold and investments need to work harder, owning a weekend getaway property is more than a trend, if you can afford it, it is a strategic lifestyle choice.
