Paynesville

Montserrado, Liberia

Why visit Paynesville?

Paynesville is a large suburban area of Monrovia, located east of the city centre along the main highway towards Roberts International Airport. It is one of the fastest-growing areas of the capital, with a mix of residential neighbourhoods, shopping centres, and businesses. Many diplomatic missions, NGOs, and international organisations have offices in Paynesville. The area has a more spacious, planned feel than central Monrovia, with wider roads and more compound-style housing.
