Leahon is a residential area located in Kitengela, Kiambu County, Kenya. The area is known for its real estate developments and serves as a suburb for nearby Kitengela town. Leahon's population is diverse, consisting of both local residents and expatriates. The area's mix of new and established housing estates caters to a wide range of income levels and living preferences.

Leahon's location near the Kitengela entry and exit points makes it a convenient area for those commuting to Nairobi and surrounding areas. However, the area's arid climate and lack of water treatment infrastructure have raised concerns about water scarcity and its potential impact on residents' health. Infrastructure development in Leahon has improved significantly in recent years, with the introduction of modern amenities such as electricity supply, internet connectivity, and paved roads.

The community offers a range of community and recreational activities, including estate management and home owner's associations, which facilitate social interaction and cooperation among residents. However, social and economic disparities have led to tension and conflicts between resident groups and landowners. Leahon's development raises broader questions about property rights, urban planning, and the distribution of land ownership, reflecting ongoing debates within Kenya about the future of urban development and the role of property markets.
