Tema is Ghana's principal port and industrial city, a short drive east of Accra. Its economy — shipping, manufacturing and logistics — creates a steady, employment-driven rental market that behaves differently from Accra's prime neighbourhoods.
Industrial demand, practical returns
Workers, managers and families tied to the port and industrial estates underpin consistent demand for mid-market housing. Entry prices are generally lower than central Accra, which supports healthier yields for buy-to-let investors focused on income over prestige.
What to weigh
Tema is less about trophy capital growth and more about dependable cash flow; choose location carefully relative to the industrial areas and transport links. Model a specific property below.

See the return a Ghana investment property could deliver.
Gross yield = annual rent ÷ price. Net yield deducts your running-cost estimate (management, maintenance, voids, service charge). Indicative only — prime Accra residential typically runs ~7–9% gross (8–11% city-wide), higher for short-let & serviced units. Always verify figures with your own due diligence.
