Top 3 Locations to Rent a Home in Accra
It's a no-brainer that Accra has seen a tremendous rise in urban development. The metro area population of Accra grew from 2,557,000 in 2021 to 2,721,000 in 2024 (source from https://www.macrotrends.net). This statistic shows that from 2021 to 2024, over 200,000 people have migrated to Accra.
But where do most people want to stay or live? Over the years, ZeaHomes has helped hundreds of people find a place to live in the bustling city of Accra. During this period, some neighborhoods became more sought after than others.
That's what we would like to share today.
1. East Legon: While some might argue this, East Legon became one of the top neighborhoods people asked about. We completely understand this because of its diverse community. It is known for its modern amenities, security, and proximity to the city center.
This neighborhood also offers a comfortable and convenient lifestyle. Whether renting or buying, East Legon provides access to upscale living, shopping centers, and entertainment options.
2. Airport Residential Area: This location became number one on the list of top places to stay in Accra. It offers a serene environment, proximity to the Kotoka International Airport, and easy access to major highways. Our clients would call us and ask, "What's the closest neighborhood to the Airport?" and we would reply "It's the Airport Residential Area."
It's ideal for professionals and families seeking a peaceful and secure living environment.
3. Cantonment: This location depicts its heritage as it was originally a military base. Most of our high-profile clients prefer to live here because it's generally considered to be safe, with visible police patrol and private security measures in place.
This area also features a mix of colonial-style homes, many of which are occupied by diplomats, ex-pats, and high-ranking government officials. It's also right in the city center, making it a convenient location for business and leisure.
