Citizenship
Property for sale in basaksehir represents the newer, master-planned face of European Istanbul, wide roads, big parks, modern housing estates and one of Europe's largest hospitals. Purpose-built for family life rather than grown up piecemeal, the district offers space and new construction at accessible prices.
Rumi Property's Basaksehir listings range from family apartments to duplexes and villas. Its proximity to Istanbul Airport and its strong appeal to Turkish and Gulf families make it one of the city's most active newer markets.
Basaksehir is chosen by buyers who want new, well-planned homes with room to breathe. Because the district was developed as a whole rather than in patches, it has the parks, schools, hospitals and wide roads that older suburbs lack, and prices remain reasonable for the newness on offer.
Our Basaksehir listings span a wide range, from compact apartments at the affordable end to larger villas and duplexes at the top, with most in the district's mid-market. That mid-market positioning, paired with new construction, is a big part of the district's appeal to families and investors alike.
Prices vary with the estate and its facilities, gated projects with pools, gyms and security sit higher, while simpler blocks are more affordable. With several active projects on our books, off-plan units with staged payment plans are widely available.
Basaksehir spans several planned zones, from established central blocks to fast-growing new quarters, all part of the wider Istanbul property market.
One of the newest and largest housing zones, with high-rise estates and green space at accessible prices. It is popular with investors and families buying new-build off-plan.
The established heart of the district, close to metro links, schools and shopping. It offers a settled, ready-to-move-in feel that newer zones are still building toward.
A well-regarded, greener quarter known for family estates around Gölet park. It appeals to buyers wanting a calmer, established setting within the district.
Basaksehir is served by the M3 and M7 metro lines and sits close to the TEM motorway, giving quick road access across the European side. Its standout advantage is Istanbul Airport, roughly 20–30 minutes away by car, a real draw for international buyers who travel often. The historic centre, however, is a longer trip.
The market is mostly modern apartments, with a growing choice of larger family formats.
Two- to four-bedroom apartments in Basaksehir estates are the district's core product, built for the families who make up most of its buyers.
Larger duplexes and villas suit buyers wanting more space and a garden, and they are the formats most likely to reach the citizenship threshold.
With several active projects, off-plan apartments bought early with payment plans give investors a lower entry point and room for appreciation as estates complete.
Basaksehir combines mid-market prices, new stock and steady family-tenant demand, which supports both rental income and medium-term appreciation as the district matures. Istanbul gross yields average around 7% (Investropa, 2026), and Basaksehir is prized above all for capital appreciation thanks to its position near the new airport, so off-plan buyers can add upside if they buy well.
It is not all upside. Parts of Basaksehir are still developing, so some newer zones can feel unfinished, with construction ongoing and amenities catching up. It also sits well outside the historic centre, so it favours buyers who prioritise space, newness and the airport over a central address.
Basaksehir is built around family life, with green space and services designed in from the start.
With so much new and off-plan stock, confirm whether a project is complete with its iskan (habitation certificate) or still under construction with a payment schedule tied to milestones.
Ownership transfers through the official tapu (title deed), completed homes require DASK earthquake insurance, and foreign buyers need an SPK-licensed valuation report before transfer.
For a Turkish passport, the property must be worth at least $400,000 and held three years under the Turkish citizenship by investment route. Several of our Basaksehir listings currently qualify.
Rumi Property has helped international buyers purchase across Istanbul since 2004, and Basaksehir's family estates and Gulf-buyer appeal are firmly in our wheelhouse. We track project stages and payment plans so you buy new-build with confidence.
