About East Legon
Prime residential area popular with expats and Ghanaian professionals. International schools and walled compounds. In sale terms East Legon is luxury and dollar-quoted, so its prices move with the cedi rather than against local incomes. The headline 4br house asks $480,000 and takes about 60 days to shift, with 15% typically coming off the ask — and more where a seller is motivated, since the top of the market is oversupplied.
Buy vs rent here
Buying the headline home means finding $480,000 — mostly cash or a heavy deposit at Ghana's 25–30% mortgage rates. Renting the equivalent runs $2,000/month, typically with one to two years' rent in advance. See the full East Legon rent breakdown →
