Prime Water View Gardens is a very luxurious residential estate located along Freedom Way Lekki Phase 1 – IKate. I visited the estate early in June, to say I was swayed by its beauty would certainly be the biggest understatement I’d be making in a long time. The estate defines true beauty, class, exquisiteness and so many great adjectives that can be used to qualify it. It’s little wonder there’s an understandable price tag attached to it. As the local saying goes “soup wey sweet, na money kill am” as a matter of fact, in this case, na better money kill am.

PWV 1 & 2 can easily be accessed via Ikate Bus stop (third roundabout) or through Admiralty way (1st roundabout). The estate is a service apartment, made up of several blocks of flats residential style of apartment and it is either for sale or for rent.
