Easton Apartments, tucked along Nairobi’s busy Jogoo Road in Eastlands, has become a talking point in recent months, largely because of its reported ties to Charlene Ruto, the daughter of President William Ruto.
Matiny Ltd manages the property, and Charlene is reportedly a shareholder, placing the apartments within the broader business interests connected to Kenya’s First Family.

The complex has gone through a visible transformation.
Before-and-after images show a shift from a dated-looking block to a more polished residential development, with refreshed exterior finishes, balconies, and a tidier compound.
A newer section has also been added adjacent to Jogoo Road, expanding the available space.
The compound layout includes ample parking bays, along with a large water tank to ensure a consistent supply for residents.
TUKO.co.ke established that the rear of the property opens up to an expansive green space beyond the fence, giving residents an unexpectedly open outlook.
The Nairobi commuter rail line serving the Eastlands corridor also passes directly behind the apartment block, adding to the sense of connectivity for those who live there.
The development sits close to Makadara Railway Station, which gives tenants a practical alternative to road transport when heading to Nairobi’s central business district.
Jogoo Road itself is one of the key arteries connecting Eastlands to the city centre, making the location relatively convenient for daily commuters.
In terms of units, the complex is reported to hold tens of residential houses, with a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts.
The gated compound includes CCTV surveillance, a wall topped with barbed wire, as well as around-the-clock security guards.
Taken together, these features position Easton Apartments as a mid-range residential option in an area where demand for organised, secure housing continues to grow.
The property’s association with Charlene has kept it in public conversation, with many Kenyans curious about the business interests linked to the president’s family beyond the political sphere.
