Anaji

Anaji is where modern Takoradi has chosen to live. Spreading northwest of the centre, it is a suburb of gated estates, newer detached homes and apartment schemes that has grown rapidly on the back of the oil-and-gas boom. The Takoradi Family Health Specialist Hospital on Anaji 1st Avenue, a clutch of private schools, and the proximity of Takoradi Mall and the airport give it the amenity depth that families and professionals expect, all in a calmer setting than the city centre. For investors, Anaji is the city's prime buy-to-let address. Demand from oil-sector professionals and middle-class families supports steady occupancy and yields at the upper end of Takoradi's range, while the newer building stock commands a quality premium and tends to let faster. The investment case still rests on an oil-linked economy, so concentration risk, cedi depreciation, the 50-year leasehold ceiling for foreigners and the 15% non-resident rental withholding tax all need factoring in. For those who want quality tenants and modern homes, Anaji is the obvious choice.
