Living in Silverest
Silverest is a fast-growing neighbourhood in eastern Lusaka, situated along Great East Road just past RATSA and the University of Lusaka (UNILUS), and close to the University of Zambia (UNZA) research centre. Its position along one of the city's main arterial roads makes it a convenient stretch for residents commuting into the centre or out toward the airport.
Properties in the area include both apartments and standalone houses, and Silverest Gardens operates as a security complex within the neighbourhood, giving residents a managed, gated option alongside independently owned homes. The suburb's proximity to Unilus in particular has made some properties popular as boarding accommodation for university students, adding steady rental demand alongside longer-term residential buyers.
Compared with some of Lusaka's older, more established suburbs, Silverest's character is still developing, but its position on Great East Road and its closeness to two university campuses give it a distinct identity as an academic and transit corridor on the city's eastern edge.
