It is possible to find luxury Turkish real estate in most cities and coastal areas and, if you fail to locate exactly what you're seeking, there's always the option to build a dream home in Turkey from scratch. Finding a good real estate agent in Turkey should be the first port of call as they should know the market, listen to requirements and suggest possible properties and locations - you have to remember not all high-end property in Turkey is listed. As an initial guide, here's a little rundown on four of the most popular locations for luxury real estate in Turkey.

Istanbul Apartments Bosphorus Views

Istanbul

Istanbul attracts property investors from budget buyers to high end purchasers. The city is ideally located between Asia, Europe and the Middle East and central to many trade routes. Istanbul has undergone a wave of development and urbanisation over the past 10 years in efforts to meet housing demands. Prices in the prestigious central districts have skyrocketed as a result. Although the central suburbs are home to many fabulous luxury Istanbul properties, central property in Nisantasi, Beyoglu and Besiktas now comes with steep price tags, however, they do gain premium rental returns and appreciate consistently year on year. For those with a more modest budget there is now a wide range of luxury properties in Basin Express and other trendy and up and coming European districts, all still within easy reach of the city centre. Areas such as Basin Express, Media Highway and those near the New Istanbul Canal Project offer affordable luxury apartments ideal as a base in the city or simply as a savvy portfolio investment.
