Tema Community 25

Greater Accra, Ghana

Tema Community 25, located in the Dawhenya area and forming part of Tema's expanding north-eastern residential frontier, represents the cutting edge of planned residential development in Greater Accra. Unlike the older Tema communities, Community 25 is characterised by newer construction, purpose-built estate developments, and a clean-slate community character that appeals strongly to young buyers, first-time homeowners, and returning diaspora families. The relative newness of the community means property prices offer significantly better value per square metre than equivalent products in the inner Accra suburbs, making Community 25 one of the region's most compelling investment propositions.

The Dawhenya Irrigation Project area provides natural scenery and outdoor recreation opportunities. Estate developments include communal recreational facilities such as pools and children's play areas.

Amenity provision in Community 25 reflects its emerging status. Local shops and markets handle daily essentials, and the broader Tema commercial network is accessible for larger shopping requirements. Healthcare is addressed by local clinics for routine care, with the Tema General Hospital and Meridian Hospital serving more complex needs approximately 25-35 minutes away. Residents should factor in ongoing development when assessing current service levels, while recognising that infrastructure investment in this zone is active and ongoing.

Educational options within Community 25 itself are currently developing, with local primary schools serving the immediate community. For quality private secondary education and international schooling, families commute to Tema's schools including the Tema International School or to schools in the broader eastern Accra corridor.
