The district
Cantonments was laid out as colonial military quarters and the plot sizes never changed, which is why it feels unlike anywhere else in Accra — quarter-acre gardens, single-storey walls, and rain trees planted in the 1950s that now meet overhead across the street.
The consequence is scarcity. Almost nothing here is new land; it is either a refurbishment of a 1960s or 1970s house, or a small apartment block replacing one. That keeps supply thin and prices firm even in soft quarters. Embassies, the residences attached to them, and a handful of very good restaurants make up most of what is not residential.
If you are buying here, the two questions that matter are the unexpired lease term and whether the services were genuinely renewed. A beautiful 1972 villa with 1972 plumbing is a two-year project pretending to be a house.
Watch out
Short unexpired leases are common on the older villas. Read the term before you fall for the garden.
