Airport Residential vs East Legon: Which Area Suits You?

Airport Residential and East Legon are two of the most requested areas in Accra. Both are well established and secure, but they suit different lifestyles.

Airport Residential

Central and well connected, Airport Residential is a favourite for professionals and expatriates. You will find modern apartment blocks with pools and gyms, alongside spacious older homes on leafy streets. It is close to the airport, offices, restaurants and shopping malls, which is reflected in premium prices.

East Legon

East Legon offers more space for the money and a strong family feel. Gated townhouse communities, detached homes and newer developments are common, and the area is popular for its schools and amenities. Traffic at peak times is worth factoring in if you commute to the city centre.

Which is right for you?

If you value convenience and a short commute, Airport Residential is hard to beat. If you want a larger home, a garden and a residential atmosphere, East Legon is often the better fit.
