The Accra real estate landscape is shifting – and smart investors are already staking their claims in tomorrow’s most promising neighbourhoods.
Whether you’re buying your first home, investing for rental income, or planning a future move back to Ghana, location is everything. Fortunately, Accra is full of high-growth gems that still offer affordable entry points, rapid development, and exceptional returns.
In this 2025 edition, we spotlight five of the fastest-growing areas in Accra for real estate investment that you should not overlook.
1. Oyarifa: Where Affordability Meets Growth
Oyarifa, nestled along the Adenta-Aburi corridor, is quickly transforming from a sleepy suburb into a bustling residential zone ideal for families, professionals, and returnees.
Why Invest in Oyarifa?
- Strategic access to both Accra and Aburi via the highway
- Rapid expansion of gated communities and private estates
- Affordable serviced plots and detached homes
- Upcoming retail hubs and malls (e.g., Oyarifa Mall)
Investor Tip: Consider buying titled plots around the Teiman or Oyarifa Hills area and build-to-rent or build-to-hold for 3–5 years.
2. ACP – Pokuase: Riding the Infrastructure Boom
Located just off the transformative Pokuase Interchange, ACP Estate and its surrounding enclaves are enjoying explosive growth. The road network and improved accessibility have positioned this location as a new real estate powerhouse.
Why Invest in ACP – Pokuase?
- Easy access to central Accra, Achimota, and Nsawam
- High demand for middle-income housing
- Well-planned layout and security (especially in ACP Estate)
- Proximity to key developments like the Outer Ring Road project
Pro Insight: Ideal for townhouse projects, multi-family rental units, or even affordable gated developments for the working class.
3. Ashongman Estate: Quiet, Connected, and Climbing
