@joey-pn3xe lol I enjoyed hanging out by the pool and lagoon. I got attacked by mosquitoes at night in my room though, because I was on ground level. That was a major issue. I was never so happy to know there was a pharmacy next door. 🤕 Mosquitoes find me on the Continent, unfortunately.
Vanessa, welcome back! The project is very huge. Talking about this apartment, I prefer to live 4th to 10th floor, because when you stay 2nd floor going up, using the stairs going ups and downs will keep fit, hardly to get sick. So here in cathedral avenue DC. I'm currently live on 7th floor, and I don't like to use elevator or lift, always using stairs because it good exercise and I'm enjoying that
@@brofutv1853What you said should be in reverse. If you lived on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you walk the stairs as a necessary part of life. Contrastly, if you lived higher, you would have to be motivated to walk up.

You bring joy to my household when I see wonderful projects and business opportunities being taken by the Motherland. 🥂 can’t wait for your next upload. 😊❤
Come here first and then think about your investment. Nigeria especially in the major cities are way developed and have proper infrastructure like in western countries
Thanks Vanessa, in apartments like that can you also ask them about service charges? Most of the time this is where the catches are. Also the terms/type of lease.
@ Vanessa, how about showcasing other comparable estate build projects like the Jolly B estate at Oyarifa Accra which is as good as diasporans can get?
Hello Vanessa thank for showing this. Please next time when you do an apartment showing and you have the owner to ask questions like in this video, please do us a favor ask them some of the important information that prospective buyers want to know. What is the HOA fees or maintenance fees. Majority of places have that and it’s important to know. also what is the lessee hold on these apartments and how May years. We do not want to only know how beautiful it is and the fact that it’s in East Legon and it has shops around. Also show us a complete 1 and 2 bedroom with the inside. I think your videographer did not do a good job showing the inside of this one. Thank you.
Vanessa I'm more interested in the roads from Accra mall to these properties. Yes, the properties are relatively cheaper, and in good location. But what if the roads are so bad that I'm unable to drive home or have to go through miles of potholes to get home? The target of these developers is diasporans and expatriates because the average Ghanaian can't afford these properties even in a thousand years. So if we are the targets, then they have to do better. Businesses can no longer be passive with government. They can also put pressure on government to help fix our roads. If roads were good, this property's worth 15% more in my view.
@@kontomylitis You still meant it’s cheap because you were probably comparing it to advanced countries. As a resident of the U.S., I can assure you that these homes are not cheap in Ghana. It's unfair to compare Ghanaian houses to those in advanced nations because the economies are completely different, the average standard of living is different, and labor is relatively cheaper in Ghana, as is land.
@philipboateng5667 of course, it's cheap. The fact that you can never afford it in your lifetime does not negate that fact. Real estate in Accra is not for the poor.
Thank you for this video. Just a few tips, it would have been a much better presentation if you showed more of that first apartment. You did not show the entirety of any of the rooms. We did not see the whole living room. We did not see the kitchen. You went into the master bedroom, but the camera person stayed outside the room and took the video from the doorway. All we saw was the bed. We did not see the whole room. You said there were wardrobes, but you did not show them. As for the bathroom in the master bedroom, it looked like the lights were off so it was hard to see anything and you really did not show the bathroom. It seemed like the camera person was standing outside the bathroom and zoomed in on a small part of the shower, in the dark. You said there was a terrace in the master bedroom, but you never showed it. After watching the entire showing, I still have no idea what the apartment looks like. These are things you may want to think about when making your next video of an apartment showing.
I agree this was an oversight of the videographer - there’s another tour of the apartment on this video th-cam.com/video/HiNg1IfPEDk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wZ6uErfQ_cucMQpR

Sorry but this is ridiculously expensive taking into account Ghana’s gdp per capita. The prices of these condos I can buy in the USA city like Chicago downtown condo for the same price in world class city. So no the pricing is ridiculous when you think about it.

It is a bit high BUT as someone who is in Ghana about two to three times a year and always in that area, the location is actually perfect. If someone was actually moving there with a family, that location is walking distance to quite a bit and it is safe.

Additionally, some retirees who spend significant amounts of money on big dream houses might find the location user friendly.

Hi Vanessa!! That is awesome very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Very nice. Thanks for showing us the options that we can have in Ghana. Great work
Thank You
I was staying at the rivera in December of 2023 great place to stay because of the location
Good to see u again

Maybe showing one of the completed 1 beds in the other properties would help.
Why is the outside space like a balcony counted as part of the square meterage? Surely only internal spaces should count.

GOOD APARTMENT
SOMETHING IS BIGER AND HIGTER THAN ATRACTION. SUPER NATUREL 😮😮🙏🤷☀️
Nice but not much value for the price. For 150k I can get a new 3 bedroom apartment in a top location in Nairobi. Thanks for sharing!
Buying off plan is suppose to a benefit. I.E. sometimes by the time the project is finished, the property maybe more expensive.
How much is the 116? Its is 1,2,3 bedroom?
Nice Apartment Expensive😊
