Living in Eastern Region

Hills, history, and honest value

The Eastern Region stretches from the Akuapim Ridge to the dense forests near Atewa. Koforidua, the regional capital, sits in a natural bowl surrounded by hills, offering a cooler climate and a pace of life that's noticeably calmer than Accra — just 80 kilometres away.

Rentals in Koforidua are remarkably affordable compared to Accra, which has made it popular with remote workers and retirees who want proximity to the capital without the cost. The area around the University of Eastern Ghana and the nursing college drives student housing demand.

Nkawkaw and Mpraeso serve as gateways to the scenic Kwahu Plateau, which comes alive during the Easter paragliding festival. Akosombo, home to the Volta dam, offers lakeside living that feels worlds away from urban Ghana.
