Loresho is an affluent neighbourhood in the city of Nairobi. It is approximately 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) northwest of the central business district of Nairobi. It borders the Lower Kabete and the Kitisuru neighbourhoods.

Loresho is an up-market residential suburb Located on the outskirts of the City Centre, home to the Vet Lab Sports Club and surrounded by beautiful green areas

Loresho is zoned as a low-density neighbourhood with single family residential units allowed to be built within the estate.

In the 1960s, Loresho was a coffee farm and has since grown into a high-end residential area with a range of properties suited to discerning buyers.

With the breakup of the estate, settler families acquired plots and individuals home in Kibagare Valley. By the 1960s Loresho was managed by the Loresho Housing Company which built four-bedroom single family bungalows. Occupation started in the 1970s, for anyone who could afford the mortgage, making Loresho the first non-segregated estate in Nairobi.

Loresho is derived from the Maasai word Oloresho. The land on the present-day Loresho was a Maasai grassland prior to the 1920s, when it was taken over by the British settler Hugh Cholmondeley, 3rd Baron Delamere.

Due to the high altitude, with a cool climate the area enjoyed, Cholmondeley put up an expansive coffee estate of 400 acres and built a home with the views of Mount Kenya in 1928. After Cholmondeley’s death in 1931, the land was auctioned and put up for sale to clear debts that he had acquired.
