Top 4 Accra Neighborhoods to Watch for High Returns in 2025

For diaspora investors looking to grow long-term wealth through real estate, Accra remains one of Africa’s most promising cities. In 2025, four standout neighborhoods—Cantonments, East Legon, Airport Residential, and Ridge—are shaping up to deliver exceptional returns on investment.

From booming rental markets to surging land values, this guide breaks down the reasons why these locations top the list for Ghanaian property success—and how to make your move with confidence.

1. Cantonments: The Diplomatic Hotspot with Unmatched Rental Power

If ROI had a capital, it would be Cantonments.

This prestigious neighborhood is home to embassies, top-tier international schools, and luxury apartment complexes. The result? Consistent rental demand from expatriates and global professionals who are required—by policy or employer preference—to live in secure, high-end zones.

• Average rental for a 1-bedroom apartment: $1,200–$1,500/month
• Occupancy rate (short-let/Airbnb): 80–90%
• Price appreciation (last 5 years): 70–90%

Whether you’re buying to lease or buying to hold, Cantonments remains one of Ghana’s safest bets for premium real estate growth.

3. Airport Residential: The New Gold Standard for Executive Living

Airport Residential is no longer just a zone of convenience—it’s now a symbol of elite living.

Luxury developments, upscale hotels, corporate headquarters, and private medical facilities make this area the most international investor-friendly location in Accra. Proximity to the airport adds to its value for short-term and business rental markets.

• High-end apartment pricing: $150,000–$500,000

• ROI timeline: 5–7 years for full capital return with Airbnb strategy
