Living in Ashanti Region

The Garden City and beyond — culture runs deep here

Ashanti Region is the cultural soul of Ghana. Kumasi, the Garden City, is home to the Asantehene and a kingdom that has shaped Ghanaian identity for centuries. But beyond the rich history, it's also a modern commercial powerhouse — Kejetia Market is the largest open-air market in West Africa, and the city hums with trade, education, and ambition.

Renting in Kumasi offers variety that surprises newcomers. KNUST attracts tens of thousands of students who fuel a lively hostels-and-rooms market in Ayeduase and Bomso. Families gravitate toward Ahodwo and Danyame for larger homes with compound-style living. Adum and Asafo serve traders who want to be close to the action.

Outside Kumasi, Obuasi's gold-mining heritage drives a steady rental market, while Ejisu and Mampong offer quieter, affordable alternatives for those who work in Kumasi but prefer space.
