If only a lot of young people will take this route instead of paying crazy rent in Accra

Halil Kunge added:

I also got a place along the Nsawam - Adeiso road, which is 45km (50 minutes drive) away from the airport. I got it for GH₵6000 last year, and I'm currently in the process of building a 3-bedroom house. I'd love to meet your friend. My site is just 20 minutes away from his, and I currently live in Adenta. Life in Accra is too stressful.

Not sure why the distance relative to the airport is important. It doesn't make sense for the regular business travelers to live far from the airport outside the city anyways
