The analysis of the formation of the gated communities in West African cities, such as in Greater Accra, Ghana, is presented. The analysis has indicated that the globalization of real estate markets and Diaspora living are important aspects in the residential geography of Accra and the concept of transnational houses has described the aspects of the local property market that are being globalized and differentiated from local housing.
