Ghana’s fast-developing Tema Community 25 is emerging as a popular alternative for families seeking more space, planned infrastructure and a quieter lifestyle away from the hustle of central Accra.

In a new driving tour video posted by lifestyle and real-estate vlogger Malaika in GH, viewers get an up-close look at the area’s mix of serviced plots, ongoing construction, schools, supermarkets, police posts and established gated estates.

The video, titled Touring Inside Tema Community 25 🇬🇭 | The New City Outside Accra, Ghana? | Devtraco Estate, opens with Malaika driving through “Community 25 proper,” highlighting its structured layout. She points out key amenities already in place or under construction: nursery and primary schools, a secondary school nearing completion, supermarkets, police stations and a variety of housing—from individual serviced plots where owners are building custom homes to completed bungalows and storey buildings.

Malaika then enters Devtraco Estate (also referred to as Dev Tracker in the commentary), a well-established gated community that gives “people actually live here” energy. She praises the family-friendly atmosphere, open green spaces, mix of architectural styles and diverse resident population—including Ghanaian families, Indian, Chinese and British expatriates.

“There’s a real mix of people living here,” she notes, adding that the estate feels charming and not overly uniform.

However, she is candid about maintenance challenges common in many Ghanaian gated communities. While the roads and greenery are pleasant, some sections show signs of wear and tear.

“Road maintenance is something that is in need of attention,” Malaika observes, warning potential buyers to consider long-term service charges, politics and upkeep when investing in such estates. “When this was first built, it was beautiful… but the wear and tear of living here is a real thing.”

Overall, the tour positions Tema Community 25 as an appealing option for families and individuals seeking affordability, space and community amenities without the congestion of central Accra.

Malaika ends by asking viewers: “Could you see yourself living here or would you prefer to stay closer to Central Accra?”

Accra is set to take center stage in Africa’s property and urban development conversation when the Africa Real Estate Festival (AREF) 2026 opens on April 18, 2026, at the Accra Polo Club.

Branded under the theme “Innovation Meets Identity: Designing Africa’s Next Living Experience,” the festival is positioning itself as a defining moment for how Africa builds, invests, and lives in the decades ahead.

The African Real Estate Festival is widely regarded as the continent’s premier annual gathering for real estate, investment, and urban development, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, developers, investors, architects, and technology innovators from Africa and across the globe.

Organizers say the event is designed to move beyond traditional conference formats, offering an immersive platform where ideas, capital, culture, and lifestyle intersect.

A Continental Platform with Global Reach

More than 1,500 delegates and exhibitors from over 30 countries are expected to attend AREF 2026, reflecting the growing international interest in Africa’s property markets. With rapid urbanisation, a youthful population, and rising demand for housing, commercial space, and infrastructure, Africa has become one of the world’s most closely watched real estate frontiers.

AREF aims to spotlight cutting-edge trends, innovative design concepts, sustainable building practices, and landmark development projects shaping cities across the continent. The festival will also provide a space for strategic dialogue on policy reform, financing, and urban planning—issues seen as critical to unlocking long-term value in African real estate.

Beyond a Conference: Real Estate Meets Culture

Organisers describe AREF not as a conventional industry conference, but as a “festival of opportunities.” The event blends professional networking and deal-making with cultural expression, lifestyle showcases, and conversations around identity-driven design.

By centring Africa’s cultural heritage alongside innovation and investment, AREF seeks to challenge traditional development models and encourage built environments that reflect local identity while meeting global standards. This approach, planners say, is essential as African cities expand and redefine how people live, work, and interact.
