Real Estate in Bakirkoy Istanbul

Sitting on the European side of Istanbul, Bakirköy’s prime location puts it close enough to the heart of Istanbul for convenience and ease (30 minutes to the touristic center of Sultanahmet), yet far enough away from the center so that residents can escape the trappings of city life.

Initially named Makriköy, Bakirköy took its current name in 1925, and it translates as “copper village” yet this isn’t an apt reflection of the potential it offers to property buyers in Istanbul.

Real Estate for Sale in Bakirköy

Properties for sale in Bakirkoy, one of the most popular districts of the city, are getting more and more valuable every day. Anyone looking at property in Bakirkoy for sale gravitates towards this region because the residential areas don’t have a city feel filled with the commotion of a fast-paced lifestyle.

Instead, residents tend to be retirees, or professional business people, and couples with children who adore the family-friendly environment. The name Bakirkoy refers to the large district that has several other smaller and prominent localities;

Yeşilköy: Originally called San Stefano, the most notable moments in the history of Yesilkoy were the location of the first Ottoman Aviation School and a devastating tsunami caused by the earthquake in 1894 destroyed most houses and businesses.

Its worthy reputation stems from a place where all nationalities and religions lived side by side including Greeks, Armenians, and Turks. The village stopped using the name San Stefano in 1926, and it was renamed Yesilkoy meaning "green village".

These days, it still keeps a reputation as a middle and upper-class society destination, and notable landmarks include Ataturk Airport and Istanbul World Trade Centre.

Yeşilyurt: As another prominent neighborhood of Bakirkoy, Yesilyurt has a gorgeous seaside position which also attracts affluent circles of society. Many seaside restaurants and tea houses make a roaring trade in Yesilyurt especially during the height of summer.

Its name meaning "green homeland" reflects the vast amount of green areas within the district but its chief fame to claim is the 19th-century Yesikoy Lighthouse and as the location of the Turkish Air Force Academy and Istanbul Aviation Museum.

Ataköy: As the third prominent neighborhood of Bakirkoy, Atakoy is an extremely prestigious area, separating down into four small districts. It was a planned district, and its perfect appearance shows the best in suburban planning and development.
