Thinking of investing in a property that earns while you live abroad?
Accra is emerging as a top hotspot for Airbnb rentals in West Africa, attracting global professionals, the Ghanaian diaspora, and digital nomads looking for comfort, location, and convenience.
But here’s the truth: not all neighbourhoods are created equal when it comes to consistent bookings and strong rental returns.
At Ghana Bound, we’ve reviewed up-to-date data from platforms like AirDNA and InsideAirbnb to bring you a clear, honest guide to the top-performing short-let zones in Accra right now.
- Cantonments – Executive Rentals That Rarely Sit Empty

Why investors love Cantonments:
High rental income potential (luxury daily rates)
24/7 security and road infrastructure
Walkable to embassies, Airport City, and restaurants
Ghana Bound Tip: If you want to maximise earnings with less downtime, Cantonments offers exceptional performance — especially for 1- and 2-bedroom apartments in serviced developments.

- North Legon – Quietly Profitable for Mid-Term Rentals
Occupancy Rate: ~32%

North Legon flies under the radar, but savvy investors know it offers a strong balance between purchase price and occupancy. This area attracts professionals and international students looking for longer stays in a peaceful environment.
What makes North Legon attractive:
Steady demand from mid-term guests (2–6 weeks)
Lower property acquisition costs
Less Airbnb saturation compared to central Accra
Ghana Bound Tip: North Legon is perfect if you’re looking for a hands-off, “set-and-forget” Airbnb strategy.
- Accra Central – Where Culture and Bookings Meet
Occupancy Rate: ~32%
Source: InsideAirbnb – Accra Region
From Osu to Ridge and Ministries, this core part of Accra draws business guests and tourists year-round. The mix of heritage sites, nightlife, government offices, and hotels means your Airbnb could be booked weekdays and weekends alike.
Key strengths:
Tourist-friendly location with international appeal
Close to conference venues and embassies
Strong potential for 1- to 3-night stays
Ghana Bound Tip: Properties near Oxford Street or Independence Avenue perform best. Think stylish, modern, and walkable.
- Adenta Municipal – The Rising Star for Returnees
Occupancy Rate: ~34%

Adenta is quickly becoming a go-to for Ghanaian returnees and mid-income professionals. It offers lower entry costs with surprisingly strong occupancy for the right type of listing — especially modern 2-3 bed homes with basic furnishing.
Why Adenta is gaining attention:
Affordable property prices
More space for the money
Growing infrastructure and residential demand
Ghana Bound Tip: Focus on homes with secure parking and good access to main roads — returnees are often travelling with family.
- Haatso – Consistency Over Hype
Occupancy Rate: ~30%

Haatso may not be flashy, but it delivers steady month-on-month bookings from medical professionals, academics, and students. It’s also a popular zone for longer stays — 1 to 3 months — which means fewer turnovers and easier management.
Haatso works because:
It’s close to universities and hospitals
It’s reliable, even during off-peak seasons
Guests tend to stay longer and take better care of units
Ghana Bound Tip: A 1-bedroom apartment in Haatso is a great starting point for first-time Airbnb investors looking for low-risk options.
Honourable Mention: East Legon Hills – High Rates, Lower Occupancy
Occupancy Rate: ~28%
Average Daily Rate: $194 USD

If you’re after luxury bookings rather than volume, East Legon Hills offers premium returns per night. Think spacious villas, rooftop terraces, and Airbnb homes with pools or private gyms. While occupancy isn’t the highest, the earnings per stay can make up for it.
Ghana Bound Tip: This area suits investors with a strong design and staging strategy who want to stand out on Airbnb’s premium listings.
