General Overview of Kigoowa Area in Kampala City
Before the construction of the Kampala Northern Bypass Highway, Kigoowa was primarily a bedroom community of middle-class single family homes. Those homes became more upscale when Ntinda became a major commercial location within the city of Kampala, during the 1990s and early 2000s.
After the completion of the Northern Bypass, several commercial buildings have been erected most especially along the highway, and at street junctions.
