How to get Good Accommodation to buy or rent in Accra

Searching for a good apartment or room to rent or buy in Accra can be a real hustle, especially if you do not have anyone to talk to. Sometimes people just step out to go room hunting and return exhausted and hopeless. You’re probably here because you do not want to go through all of that.

What are some of the important things you need to consider before renting a room or buying a house? First and foremost, the neighborhood. A lot of people say, “oh I don’t really care about the neighborhood”, “the price is good, don’t worry about the neighborhood”. That is wrong, the vicinity you find your house in is very important.

If you’re an introvert, a noisy environment is not the right place to be. If you’re a clean freak or a germophobic, a “zongo” is a no-go area. Always look at the neighborhood, it’s important. The second thing, do enough inquiries, ask around, for the particular room or house you want, how much does it cost? Ask from two or three different places so that you’ll not be duped.

Jiji and Tonaton, or the traditional method

Jiji and Tonaton are two other websites you can visit to see an array of empty apartments, talk to agents and landlords to discuss terms. You can get rooms for as low as GHS 50 a month. They well other things as well, like cars, electrical appliances, mobile phones and more.

If you think these websites are not legit for business, you can still use the traditional method, go out there and look for an apartment on your own. Make inquiries, talk to people who know landowners. There are many flats at Tema for rent and sale. It may be quite expensive, but it doesn’t hurt to enquire.

Other places to find expensive and spacious apartments are;

  • Turquaz residence
  • Clifton court
  • Iriz apartment
  • Aurora apartments
  • Green views

If you do not want to go through all that hustle of going around all day looking for a place, then the websites are just your thing. The images of different parts of the apartments are presented on the sites, you can sit at the comfort of your home, look through them and compare prices all day.

As for the price of renting, it is quite expensive here in Accra, considering the fact that it is the capital city and it is very populated. But hey, who doesn’t want to live in the capital city? Accra is the New York of Ghana, “concrete jungle where dreams are made of”.
