About Çekmeköy

As one of the lesser talked about districts of Anatolian Istanbul yet it is gaining recognition from Istanbul property buyers who enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere and strong community vibes.

Sitting on the Keçiağılı Hills near the Alemdağ Forest and the E-5 Sile road, the population was 100,000 in the past, but in recent years, this has grown by approximately 40,000 people lured by new, modern Cekmekoy apartments for sale and houses for sale in Çekmeköy. There is also a small, select student population who attend the nearby Özyeğin University.

Historical documents say the region was first officially registered in documents during the reign of the Ottoman Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent. Yet because locals always made their income from the land as an agriculture community, they suspect Çekmeköy existed long before this.

Farmed products in the past included oats, barley, wheat, and fruit from the abundance of orchards. Lumberjacks also found themselves in demand because of the nearby Alemdağ Forest.

While the focus on the town is trade and business, traces of its agricultural history remain in certain parts and thanks to the nearby forest, Çekmeköy will always be known as a natural place within the city.
