The best estates in Lagos actually prove the position of the city as the Centre Of Excellence. With its thriving business scene and plenty of economic opportunities, Lagos is the most popular state in Nigeria.

For those with the style and taste, and who have the financial muscle to back it; there are some pristine locations in the city of Lagos; estates where they can live in peace and comfort, and live with decent neighbors.
