East Legon is Accra's signature upmarket neighbourhood — leafy, well-serviced and consistently in demand. For investors it offers something rare: both strong tenant demand and genuine prestige, which protects resale value.
Who rents and buys here
Professionals, executives, returning diaspora and expatriate families gravitate to East Legon for its security, amenities and schools. Rents are among the highest in the city and are frequently quoted in US dollars for the better apartments and detached homes, which gives dollar-earning investors a natural hedge.
What to expect as an investor
Entry prices are high, and gross yields on prime long-let homes tend to sit in the mid single digits — you are buying stability and capital preservation as much as income. Serviced and short-let units can push returns higher. Run any specific deal through the calculator below before committing.

Gross yield = annual rent ÷ price. Net yield deducts your running-cost estimate (management, maintenance, voids, service charge). Indicative only — prime Accra residential typically runs ~7–9% gross (8–11% city-wide), higher for short-let & serviced units. Always verify figures with your own due diligence.
