20 Most Expensive,Beautiful, and Prestigious Neighbourhoods in Africa
Hello Displorers, welcome back to another exciting video presented to you by Displore and thanks for watching . In this video, we shall be taking you around the beautiful continent of Africa showing you the 20 most prestigious and beautiful neighbourhoods in Africa. The stereotypes that Africans live in hurts, trees and on roof tops is now a myth of the past as recent exposure of the African continent to the world has shown most people in the developed world that some of them cannot even afford living in some of the cities in Africa. Even if you can find somewhere affordable in a city, some neighbourhoods are way off limits if you don’t have a heavy bank account to back it up. The compulsion to escape from the pressures of the modern world to imaginary utopias has long been a lucrative selling point for urban developers and is a true phenomenon in many cities in Africa. The rise in the number of millionaires has led to property boom as they search for their own little ‘utopias’. While you are dreaming big, some people are already living big just by the neighbourhoods they choose to live in.

20. Cocody ( Abidjan) - Ivory Coast
This is one of the neighbourhoods to live in for the jet set and elite of Ivory Coast; Cocody has been referred to as the ‘Beverly Hills of Abidjan’ for several reasons. As the home to the cultural elite, embassies, and expats of prominence, the area also offers some of the most spectacular views in the city and is surrounded by other areas that are currently vying to be the next neighbourhood of note in Abidjan. Cocody is beautiful and prestigious and you must have a happy Bank account to afford an apartment in the neighbourhood
19. Masaki ( Dar Es Salaam) - Tanzania
Masaki is one neighbourhood in Dar Es Salaam that has emerged as the place to relax in the arms of luxury, with most of the area’s inhabitants high ranking dignitaries and ambassadors from around the world. Those that live in the area are minutes away from international cuisine and a great nightlife that continues to attract more people of affluence to the neighbourhood every year. Securing an apartment is extremely difficult but if your bank account is fully loaded why Not.
18. East Legon, Ghana
East Legon is an area which screams affluent by its very look as it is occupied by sophisticated modern low-rise apartment blocks and detached houses. The population here is kept at minimal and the prices both for buying and renting an apartment are extremely high. It is also the safest neighbourhoods in Ghana. East Legon offers a serene environment with the villas so rounded by the lush green trees as well the perfect manicured side-walks. To own a home here will set you back $2 million on average which is why it is inhabited by footballers and Business tycoons.
17. La Marsa (Tunis) Tunisia
La Marsa is a coastal town in far north eastern Tunisia near the capital Tunis. La Marsa is a beachfront suburb known for its corniche, shopping, bars and cafes. It is home to a number of villas and apartments that are populated by families. The upscale suburb is approximately half-hours drive from the city. House prices here range from $756 to $1,563 per square metre for rent and buying a house is another story of huge financial cost.
16. Miramar (Luanda) -Angola
Luanda has already bagged the title of the most expensive city for expatriates in Africa but then Miramar takes up a notch with well-manicured lawns, palm trees, flowers benches and playgrounds which has become a sure magnet for the rich. Miramar is an exclusive area situated in one of the best neighbourhoods in Luanda, the old cinema. Its major attraction is the Alto das Cruzes cemetery located in the upper town, part of Miramar. It is the most famous cemetery in the city where great people were buried. It is popular with foreign diplomats and extremely wealthy Angolans.

15. Asokoro (Abuja)- Nigeria
Asokoro District is home to the Nigerian presidential complex, Nigerian National assembly, the Supreme Court and brags of the best roads and streets in Nigeria. To wake up to the view of the Aso Rock also found here and enjoy the exclusive haven of beauty, you will have to drop a hefty $ 2,612,500. Besides housing the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, it also houses the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS Secretariat, National Intelligence Agency, World Health Organization Office and more. For a Neighbourhood with such entities you need to belong to a particular social class to live there.

[malu]

In regards to S.A....Rosebank shouldn't even feature in this lists. There's Steyn City, Waterfall, Pretoria East, Clifton, Bantry Bay, Fresnye, Balito Umhlanga and the list goes on and on and on.

[MrRklewis]

After reading so many comments about other neighborhoods in Africa, it is encouraging that Africa has many, many nice and nicer neighborhoods than on this list. I love the different designs of houses there. One day, the world will see how beautiful Africa is.

[williammathibelamakwela]

[olumideolaleye]

Nigeria has some other luxurious/beautiful neighbourhoods which are not on the list. There is Katampe, Abuja | River Park, Abuja | VGC, Lagos | Ikoyi, Lagos etc

[cheslynribberts]

[tozamilefunani]

No Mhlanga Rocks, La Lucia, Zimbali, Kysna, Constantia, Garden route, you really need to explore South Africa....

[gemmawilliams]

[avelahobo]

African doesn't need expensive nearbyhoods, we need decent and Affordable houses for middle class and working class🙄😕

[investorlifestylejamaica]

I need a home in Africa God's willing. Blessings from Jamaica

[aworipat]

Very suprised not to see Muthaiga, Nairobi not on the list...it is the elite most beautiful, expensive and prestigious neighborhood

[lu]

Other African countries are so blessed to have a river waterfront in almost all their cities 😍

[Muz_Maseko]

More research needed to go into South African neighbourhood's which makes me think not much research was done regarding other countries as well

[african-history-fountain]

As usual. Nigeria and South Africa lead the continent with Banana Island, Lagos, and Camps Bay, Cape Town.... Great video, and excellent research work here.

[real_homani]

Obviously South Africa takes the throne 🇿🇦✊

[kevindome]

Kitusuru in Kenya...is also way above many places mentioned here

[zacmuturi]

To be honest, South Africa can take the 20 spots alone. Their architecture, interior design, landscaping is world class. Their architects could design any house in Beverly Hills and Bel Air with ease.

[dibdej]

Africa has some very beautiful building and city.

[chatswithmitha]

After checking this video out, I strongly recommend that you go and look up Bantry Bay, Clifton Waterfall and especially Steyn City. Please.

[davetv]

Thanks for sharing! This will definitely change the negative perception of Westerners about Africa.
