Nasinu
Nasinu (Fijian pronunciation: [nasinu]) is an urban area on the island Viti Levu in Fiji. It is officially designated a "Town" and was formally incorporated as such in 1999. The population of Nasinu was 92,043 at the 2017 Census.[citation needed] Its land area is the largest of any municipal area in Fiji, and more than twice that of the capital Suva. It is a major residential hub in Fiji, housing a large majority of the work force in Nasinu itself and in the Fijian capital, Suva. The Nasinu property market has experienced significant growth over the last several years, leading to substantial increases in property value. Nasinu TownThe Township of Nasinu is experiencing significant growth as a result of investments made by Indians who live in Fiji. The town is located on Daniva Road and houses several companies, professional services and numerous shops. However, the lack of land in this area is stifling further development of Nasinu into a premier township of Fiji. It is also pushing commercial development elsewhere within Nasinu and surrounding area. Nasinu suburbsNasinu comprises the following suburbs: Laucala Beach Estate, Valelevu, Nadera, Nadawa, Caubati, Kinoya, Newtown, Nasole, Nepani, Tacirua New Sub, Tacirua old Sub, Makoi, Narere. Laucala Beach Estate and Valelevu are the most developed and desirable of these suburbs and have seen significant growth in the property market. As a result, there has been an increase in house prices and rental three-fold over the last five years.
