Banana Island is probably the most upscale (think gated community vibes). Ikoyi, VI, and Lekki are the best places on the island for an ijgb. Ikeja is also a good option if you're going to spend most of your time on the mainland, or want to be close to the airport. Basically try to live wherever would minimize how much time you spend in traffic.

Banana island is about the best or at least most recommended. There are other spots picking up in Lekki (Phase 1) that are pretty good. Ilori has always been rock solid. I do hope you intend to travel there to check things out at least.

Forget about proximity to airport which is in ikeja. It’s too congested.

Thanks. Married with one daughter living with us.
Not sure about work, or if I’ll be working at all, so the airport consideration is a good one.
Gated community vibe is also good because Wifey has security concerns. Would help sell it.
