Dolphin Estate is perfect for families who want to live in Ikoyi without the crazy premium prices. You get an Ikoyi address, good security, organized estate living, and active community structures; all at prices significantly lower than Parkview or Banana Island. Three-bedroom flats here give you proper family space. The estate has genuine community feel with resident associations and social events; great for families wanting neighborhood bonds. Schools in Ikoyi are accessible. The buildings are older though; don't expect ultra-modern finishes or cutting-edge amenities. Some units need renovations. But for families where both parents work and earn decent middle-income salaries (banking, corporate, civil service), and you value Ikoyi's prestige and safety without overstretching finances, Dolphin delivers solid value. It's sensible, affordable Ikoyi living.
