Gachie is a settlement in Kenya's Kiambu County. It enjoys close geographical proximity to the city of Nairobi and it neighbors Nyari Estate. A few years ago, the small town had set a track record for being a den of thugs and insecurity. However this is fast changing as the Government of Kenya has beefed up security around the area. According to an article in the Standard Newspaper, Gachie and Kihara areas are enjoying a steady property demand.[1] Another research paper by the University of Nairobi Digital Repository says "The area (Gachie) which was previously rural in character has changed and is now acquiring an urban character".[2][3][4]
