Anthony Village Property Guide: Prices & Investment Case

Laide Matthews·9 March 2026·4 min read

Last reviewed: 29 September 2026

TL;DR: A 3-bedroom flat in Anthony Village sells for ₦90-140M as of late 2026, with 2-beds at ₦65-100M and mini flats from ₦30M. It's one of central mainland's quietest residential pockets — low-density, well-kept, and minutes from Maryland, Ikeja and Ojota. Transacted prices typically close 10-18% below asking after negotiation.

Anthony Village Lagos property doesn't get the headlines, and that's exactly the opportunity. Tucked between Maryland and Ojota along the Ikorodu Road corridor, Anthony is a low-density residential estate where professionals live quietly and investors buy sensibly.

I've placed several clients here over the past year — people who wanted central mainland access without Surulere's bustle or Ikeja's price tag. Here's the full picture.

Anthony Village Property Prices (2026)

Asking prices from current listings, late September 2026:

Property Type Asking Price Notes
Mini flat ₦30M – ₦45M Limited supply; they go quickly
2-bedroom flat ₦65M – ₦100M Strong rental demand
3-bedroom flat ₦90M – ₦140M The core Anthony market
4-bed duplex (semi-detached) ₦160M – ₦220M Rare — mostly owner-occupied
Land, full plot ₦130M – ₦180M Very scarce inside the village

Standard rule applies: sellers accept 10-18% below asking after proper negotiation. In a quiet market like Anthony, patient buyers do well.

Where Exactly Is Anthony Village?

Anthony sits on the central mainland, just off Ikorodu Road, neighbouring Maryland to the west and Ojota to the east. Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way — one of the mainland's major arteries — runs through the area, giving you:

  • Maryland in under 10 minutes.
  • Ikeja in 15-20 minutes outside peak hours.
  • Ojota and Ketu within minutes.
  • Straightforward access to the Third Mainland Bridge for Island trips.

That centrality is the investment thesis in one line. You're never far from anywhere that matters on the mainland.

Why Anthony Flies Under the Radar

Anthony Village was developed as a proper residential estate — low-density housing, decent road network, minimal commercial encroachment. It never became fashionable, so it never became overpriced.

What that means for buyers:

  • Quiet streets. This is a place people sleep well. Families and professionals dominate.
  • Sane prices. Comparable flats cost 15-25% less than equivalent units in Ikeja, five minutes away.
  • Low competition. Fewer buyers are watching Anthony, so good listings last longer and negotiate better.

The trade-off? Less nightlife, fewer restaurants, less buzz. If your social life needs Allen Avenue, Anthony will feel sleepy. Most residents consider that a feature.

The Investment Case

Rental demand is structural. Maryland, Ikeja and Ojota employ thousands of professionals who want a short commute and a quiet home. Anthony delivers both. A 2-bed at ₦65-100M letting to that tenant pool produces gross yields in the 6-7% range — solid for central mainland.

Tenants stay. This is underrated. Anthony attracts settled professionals and small families, not transient renters. Lower turnover means fewer void periods and less repainting between tenancies. Your net yield ends up healthier than the gross suggests.

Appreciation is steady. Anthony won't spike like a hype neighbourhood, but central mainland land is finite and the Maryland-Ikeja corridor keeps appreciating. You're buying below the area's fair value relative to its neighbours — that gap tends to close over time.

My honest summary: Anthony is a hold-and-earn play. Buy, let to good tenants, collect rent, watch the value creep up.

What to Check Before Buying

  • Estate layout. Anthony's internal streets vary — some are pristine, others less so. Walk the exact street, don't just trust the address.
  • Title verification at Alausa. Registered Conveyance and C of O are common here, but verify regardless. Non-negotiable.
  • Flood history. Parts of the mainland corridor have drainage issues. Ask neighbours about rainy season, and visit after heavy rain if possible.
  • Service charges. Some streets run organised estate associations with dues. Get the rate and payment history upfront.

Who Should Buy in Anthony Village?

  • First-time buyers with ₦65-100M who want central mainland without stretching to Ikeja prices.
  • Landlords targeting professional tenants and 6-7% gross yields with low turnover.
  • Families who value quiet streets and quick access to Maryland and Ikeja schools and offices.
  • Upgraders from Surulere or Yaba flats who want more space and calmer surroundings.

If you're chasing nightlife or maximum prestige per naira, look elsewhere. If you want a sound property in a sound neighbourhood, Anthony deserves a viewing.
