East Legon: Accra's finest

The American Embassy campus borders East Legon, making it the natural residence for the large American diplomatic and development community in Ghana. The University of Ghana (Legon) is 10 minutes away. East Legon Hills — the newer extension — has spectacular views and very modern apartment towers.

Best streets: American Embassy Road, Boundary Road, Shiashie, East Legon Hills.
