Property for Sale in Istanbul

Istanbul is where most foreign buyers purchase property in Turkey, and it is where our entire portfolio is located. This page brings together all our property for sale in Istanbul, from entry-level apartments in modern compounds to Bosphorus-view residences and villas. Use the filters above to search by district, price and completion status, or read the guide below to decide where to start.

European Side or Asian Side?

Istanbul is divided by the Bosphorus into the European and Asian sides. The European side includes the main business districts, the historic centre and many new residential areas in the west, while the Asian side offers established coastal neighbourhoods, a calmer pace and strong transport links via Marmaray and the metro. Our guide to the European vs Asian side of Istanbul compares the two in detail.

Citizenship-Eligible Property in Istanbul

Many of our Istanbul projects include units that can be used for Turkish citizenship by investment, which requires a qualifying purchase of at least USD 400,000. Eligibility depends on the specific unit, the valuation and the seller, so we confirm it for each property before you reserve. Use the citizenship filter above to see eligible projects.

Buying Property in Istanbul as a Foreigner

Foreigners from most countries can buy property in Istanbul in their own name. The process involves a tax number, a Turkish bank account, due diligence and the title deed transfer, and much of it can be completed with a power of attorney. Our property buyers guide explains each step, and the Istanbul budget guide shows what you can buy at different price levels.
