In the midst of escalating costs of renting apartments across Ghana, a hidden gem has emerged – Gojiase, a tranquil village in the Eastern Region.
Here, the struggle for affordable housing takes a backseat, as residents enjoy the luxury of paying a mere GH¢40 monthly rent.
Accra, known for its bustling lifestyle, demands high rents, with prices soaring into the millions. A single room in Accra now can easily cost around GH¢700, leaving many struggling to secure decent accommodations.
However, in Gojiase, life takes a different pace. Gojiase offers a pleasant surprise for those seeking a budget-friendly living. With just GH¢40, residents secure a block-constructed home complete with essential amenities – a bathroom and a toilet.
The community, primarily comprised of farmers, relies on boreholes and a stream for water. Cooking at home is the norm, with staples like Kenkey costing a fraction of city prices. The village thrives on motorbikes for transportation, as cars are scarce and time-consuming.
While the city races, this Eastern Region gem offers a serene and budget-friendly sanctuary.
