Should I buy my flat on the European side or the Asian side of Istanbul?
The European side of Istanbul includes the historic part of the city and is better known for its touristic sites. If you visit Istanbul just once, you would like to be near those touristic areas. If you’re going to own a house in Istanbul, you will prefer residential areas or business areas, which are located outside the historic peninsula. Modern residential blocks on the European side are located away from the city center and are rather expensive. Traffic is a notorious problem in Istanbul and even with public transportation, it is difficult to go from one place to another. Parks and recreational areas are harder to reach, real estate prices are generally more expensive on the European side compared to the Asian side.
The Asian side and especially Kadiköy is the modern face of Istanbul, with extensive residential areas, shopping facilities and recreational areas along the sea-shore. Kadiköy is also a traffic hub with convenient transportation connections by sea, land and rail. Another favorable argument for the Asian side is the high number of universities located here.
Real estate prices are in general more affordable on the Asian side. Therefore, if you plan to live in Istanbul, I would advise you to invest in property on the Asian side. Residents of Istanbul usually prefer to work and live on the same side rather than commuting daily between the two continents. People who work on the European side, usually life on the European side. However, working on the European side and living on the Asian side is an alternative, since more work options are on the European side and better residences on the Asian side. Living on the European side and working on the Asian side is rather the exception. This fact shows that the Asian side is the preferable choice to buy an apartment in Istanbul.
Kadiköy District – Best Place to Buy Property in Istanbul
In case you are going to live in Istanbul, you may prefer an area offering good public transportation, shopping streets and recreational areas close to the sea-shore. Kadiköy district satisfies these needs much better than any other district in Istanbul. Kadiköy is connected to the European part of the city via the Bosporus bridge, the Eurasia tunnel for cars and the Marmaray railroad connection. Ferries across the Bosporus and the fast track Metrobus line are convenient ways to cross to the European side. Kadiköy is famous for its traditional and international restaurants, vibrant city life, its long walking roads along the sea-shore, cafes and restaurants along Baghdat Street, the major retail center for luxury shopping. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is located 30 km away from down-town Kadiköy.
