Basaksehir is Istanbul's planned family district on the European periphery - green, modern and built around wide boulevards, parks and one of the largest hospital complexes in Europe. For families and value-focused investors, it offers space, security and modern compounds at the best prices in the city. This guide covers who it suits, its character, transport and market.
Who Basaksehir suits
Basaksehir is ideal for families who want space, green surroundings and good amenities, and for value investors seeking modern compounds and infrastructure-led growth at accessible prices.
Character and lifestyle
The district is purpose-planned: gated compounds with pools and security, lakes and parks, large malls, and the vast Cam and Sakura City Hospital. It is calmer and more suburban than central Istanbul, popular with families and with buyers from the Gulf.
Transport and connectivity
Metro lines (M3 and the M7 extension) and the TEM highway connect Basaksehir to the city and, importantly, to the new Istanbul Airport - a growing driver of demand on the European periphery.
The property market
Prices sit below the citywide average, which is precisely the appeal: modern family apartments and compounds at strong value per square metre, with growth tied to the ongoing extension of transport and the airport corridor.
