Property in Yakuplu sits right on the edge of Beylikdüzü, on Istanbul's far-western European side, and it often gets marketed as part of it. The distinction is worth knowing: Yakuplu leans newer and a little more upmarket, with modern complexes and a run of villas, and our listings span from entry-level apartments to larger villas.
Our listings here are a mix of apartments and villas, with prices that sit higher than neighbouring Beylikdüzü, which reflects the newer stock. A number of them clear the citizenship threshold.
Yakuplu offers the same western-corridor value as Beylikdüzü, but with a newer, slightly more premium slant. Buyers get modern complexes, some villa options, and enough higher-value stock that citizenship is realistically on the table.
Our Yakuplu listings span from compact apartments at the affordable end to larger villas and sea-view units at the top. That sits noticeably higher than Beylikdüzü next door, mainly because Yakuplu's stock is newer and includes larger apartments and villas.
A number of our listings sit above the $400,000 citizenship line, which makes Yakuplu one of the more realistic western districts for buyers combining a home with a Turkish passport. Payment plans are common on the off-plan projects.
Yakuplu is compact, but where you sit relative to the Metrobüs and the coast changes both price and feel. It borders Beylikdüzü to the west.
Close to the Metrobüs terminus and main roads, the most convenient for commuters and the easiest to let.
The residential core, with the newer family complexes that give Yakuplu its slightly upmarket reputation.
The southern edge sloping toward the Marmara, where sea-view units and villas command the district's top prices.
Like the rest of the western corridor, Yakuplu depends on the Metrobüs, whose Beylikdüzü terminus is right next door and runs into Mecidiyeköy in under an hour off-peak. The D-100 serves drivers. There is no metro yet. Istanbul Airport is roughly a 45-minute drive north.
Yakuplu is mostly apartments, but with more villa and large-format stock than its neighbours. Two- and three-bedroom apartments in facility-rich complexes are the core. A handful of villas and larger sea-view units make up the premium end, and these are where most of the citizenship-eligible listings sit. Studios and one-beds are fewer here than in the cheaper districts. Buyers after a citizenship-eligible home almost always end up looking at those villas and larger sea-view apartments, since that is where the values above $400,000 sit.
Yakuplu pairs the western corridor's strong yields with newer, easier-to-let stock. Gross yields track the outer-district range, near 8% (Investropa, 2026) and above the citywide 7%, while the newer builds tend to attract better tenants and hold condition longer. For an investor, that mix of high yield and newer stock is the main reason to pay Yakuplu's premium over Beylikdüzü rather than simply buying the cheaper district next door.
The drawback is the same as Beylikdüzü's: it is a long way from the centre, car-dependent, and reliant on a single Metrobüs line. And because Yakuplu is often sold as Beylikdüzü, check exactly what you are buying and where its boundary falls.
Day-to-day life in Yakuplu blends into Beylikdüzü's. The same malls, the Marmara coast and parks, schools and hospitals are all a short hop away. It is quieter and more residential than the busier parts of Beylikdüzü, which is part of the appeal for families who want new-build calm on the city's western edge. The coastal Yaşam Vadisi park, the beaches at Gürpınar and the big western malls are all within a short drive, so the lifestyle is essentially Beylikdüzü's with a slightly newer address.
Confirm the listing is genuinely in Yakuplu and where that sits, since the Beylikdüzü label gets used loosely and it affects price comparisons.
Ownership transfers through the official tapu (title deed), completed homes need DASK earthquake insurance, and foreign buyers need an SPK-licensed valuation report.
For a passport, a property must be worth at least $400,000 and held three years under the Turkish citizenship by investment route. We flag which Yakuplu listings qualify on appraisal.
Our office is minutes away in Esenyurt, and we work the western corridor daily. We can tell you honestly where Yakuplu earns its premium over Beylikdüzü and where it does not.
