Overview
Living in Lakowe Lakes
Lakowe Lakes sits at KM 35 on the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Ibeju-Lekki, approximately one hour from Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The area is best known for the Lakowe Lakes Golf & Country Estate, a master-planned development built around over 13 man-made lakes and an 18-hole championship golf course. Offering a quieter alternative to central Lekki, Lakowe attracts families, professionals, and retirees seeking gated-estate security, green surroundings, and lakefront living. The location sits beyond Sangotedo and Awoyaya but before Bogije, balancing accessibility with distance from city-centre congestion.
