Moving to Accra? Start with these neighbourhoods
A quick look at East Legon, Osu, Spintex and Madina for anyone landing in Accra.

Accra is large, and two homes at the same rent can feel completely different depending on the area. Start with how you will get to work, then narrow by budget and the kind of compound you want.
East Legon
A popular choice for young professionals and families, with shopping, schools and easy access to the airport side of the city.
Osu
Close to the centre, restaurants and nightlife. Expect smaller homes and higher rents for the space.
Spintex
A long commercial road with a mix of apartments and gated compounds. Good value if you have a car or work on the eastern side.
Madina
Busy, well connected and usually more affordable. Ask about water storage and how the compound is secured.
Next step
Open the map, pick two or three areas, and compare the rent, advance and what is included. Every home on Paddy was reviewed by our team before it went live.
