Depending where you work in Ghana, East Legon is a good area. It has good links into the central district however these can be congested at peak times. It has easy access to the University. There is a good shopping centre at A&C Mall with a swimming pool and gym. There are some good eating places like Starbites and Noble House plus a lot of others on Lagos Road. There is good access to the airport and The Mall so it has a lot going for it as well as being cheaper for housing than areas like Cantoments and Labone.
Yes and it is a good and cheaper area compared to Airport residential. You can habe a big house compared to appartment. Hope you will find it. I work in east legon too but i live in airporr beacuse it is easier to go to Tema for my husband work on mornings due to traffic.... You can find more explanation on my blog about it .
