Isheri North (OPIC area) is a developing suburban community located along the Lagos-Ogun State boundary, particularly in the Ogun State section but very close to Lagos. It is commonly referred to as Isheri North opic because of the Ogun State Property Investment Corporation (OPIC) housing estates that have spurred much of the area's growth.
Key Features of the Isheri North opic Environment:
1. Residential Development:
The area hosts several gated estates and housing projects, especially by opic.
It attracts middle-income families, Lagos workers, and returnees from abroad looking for quieter suburban living close to Lagos.
2. Accessibility:
Located off the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, providing easy access to Berger, Ojodu, Ikeja, and other parts of Lagos.
Roads within are mixed---some paved, others needing improvement---but overall motorable.
3. Security:
Gated communities have private security.
Some areas are still semi-rural, so street lighting and security presence vary by estate.
4. Infrastructure:
Power supply is improving but can still be erratic; many residents use solar or generators.
Water supply is often through boreholes or private water systems.
5. Environment:
Generally serene with a suburban feel, low noise compared to mainland Lagos.
Still has some undeveloped land and green spaces, though urbanization is ongoing.
6. Amenities:
Growing number of schools, supermarkets, hospitals, and worship centers.
Malls and large commercial centers are mostly in nearby Lagos, but small businesses thrive locally.
7. Flooding Concerns:
Some parts are low-lying, so proper drainage is key; areas close to the Ogun River may experience seasonal flooding if not well-managed.
