 Many of Alimosho's upper middle class residents prefer to live in one of the numerous estates that dot the landscape of the neighbourhood. If you are concerned about privacy and security, you can choose from any of the options available.

The Kings Court Estate is regarded as a wonderful place to raise a family by many. The estate is equipped with a basketball court, a children's playground, reliable electricity, and a central sewage and water distribution system. It is situated in a very peaceful and clean environment. It most definitely provides good value for money.

Gowon Estate is yet another safe neighbourhood in which to raise a family. It provides basic amenities at a reasonable price, making it an affordable option for people from the middle class. Despite the fact that it is not a gated community like Kings Court, security is not compromised. As a result of the presence of a Naval Unit on the estate, this has occurred.

According to historical records, Gowon Estate was originally constructed to house the Nigerian legislatures in the 1980s. It was then sold to members of the general public who were middle-income earners who either lived in it or rented it out to others. The houses are not all the same. Some are single-family homes, while others are duplexes or bungalows. There are schools, churches, malls, and a plethora of event centres and bars to choose from. This estate is ideal for those who want to live in a gated community without being cut off from the hustle and bustle of Lagos life.
