The purchase of real estate in Turkey by foreigners is of constant demand, if we do not say that it is increasing with time. The properties that are purchased vary between investment properties with the aim of obtaining a high return, and Turkish citizenship or residential real estate can be made with the aim of settling in Turkey in general and in Istanbul in particular, according to recent statistics.
In our previous articles, we talked extensively about investment properties, but today we will talk about the best areas to live in Istanbul for foreigners. The residential property has specifications that differ from the investment property because this property will directly belong to the owner and his family, and therefore there are basic conditions that cannot be bypassed, including:
+ It has a suitable space for the number of family members and an appropriate number of rooms as well.
+ Has a location close to their businesses, universities and schools, or a location within easy reach of all of the above.
+ That the services surrounding the property are sufficient for them.
+ To be close to places of entertainment, cafes and restaurants because it is a residential property and therefore their goal is stability and they must take care of the smallest details when choosing it.
+ To be safe and include surveillance cameras around the clock, recreational areas for children, sports clubs and large green spaces.
+ The quality of the cladding materials, sound and thermal insulation, and the type of heating and cooling must be taken into consideration.
+ Choose an environment of neighbors, neighborhood and building that is suitable for you and your family.
And many other subtle details, but we know that Istanbul is a big city and real estate prices in it vary according to many factors we talked about earlier, and therefore not all areas within the specifications of the required property are commensurate with the budget of all customers, so here we can say that the best area for housing depends on the requirements and budget of each A person, but here we will mention the most important areas, their advantages, and the initial budgets for owning a property in them:
