The average price for land in North-West Victoria Island now stands at N1.96 million per square metre, reflecting strong interest from developers.
This information comes from a recent report by Estate Intel, which mapped North-West Victoria Island as bounded by Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue to the north, Akin Adesola Street to the east, Adeola-Odeku Street to the south, and Ahmadu Bello Way to the west.
The increase in land value coincides with a surge in residential developments, particularly luxury and deluxe apartment projects.
What the data is saying
North-West Victoria Island’s average land price of N1.96 million per square metre positions it as more affordable than Core VI (N2.36 million) and South-West VI (N2.32 million), but slightly higher than South-East VI (N1.71 million). North-East VI averages N2.34 million per square metre.
- “The average land price of the North West region sits around N2,000,000 per sqm. The graph below distinguishes it as a more affordable alternative to the Core VI and South West area, while remaining strategically closer to these commercial hubs than the cheaper South East region, with an average land price of N1,700,000 per sqm,” the report stated.
North-West VI has more land available for sale, unlike Core VI and South-West VI, allowing developers to acquire property at lower costs without sacrificing proximity to commercial infrastructure.
These factors make North-West VI a viable choice for developers seeking a balance between cost and location.

The combination of strategic location and diverse residential offerings makes North-West VI increasingly attractive to both investors and homeowners.
