Living in Nkawkaw

The highway town with mountain views

Nkawkaw owes its existence to the Accra–Kumasi highway. Every long-distance traveller knows it as the fuel-and-food stop with the Kwahu scarp rising dramatically behind town. But beyond the transit traffic, there is a genuine community here — families, teachers, and healthcare workers who appreciate the low cost of living and the mountain air.

Renting in Nkawkaw means accepting highway noise if you are near the main road, but properties set back even one street enjoy surprising peace. Atibie, a few kilometres uphill, offers cooler temperatures and rural quiet.
