Where is Esenyurt located?

Esenyurt is situated on Istanbul's European side, more precisely in the historical and geographical region of Thrace, which comprises northeastern Greece, southern Bulgaria, and European Turkey. The area was near Istanbul's earliest historical settlement. It was formerly an agricultural area, but due to significant population movement, it became a municipality in 1989. It then became an autonomous municipality in 2008 after severing ties with the Büyükçekmece municipality.

Today, we may locate the Esenyurt area among the Istanbul regions as follows: From the east, it is bounded by the Avcılar area; from the south, by Beylikdüzü; from the west, by Büyükçekmece; and from the north, by Başakşehir and Arnavutköy.

Esenyurt is located along Istanbul's E5 major highway and is a short drive from the city's most prominent attractions and vital locations, as illustrated below:

• It is 40 minutes away from Taksim
• It is 40 minutes away from Istanbul Airport
• It is 35 minutes away from Fateh area
• It is 13 minutes away from the Sea of Marmara
• It is 45 minutes away from the Bosphorus Bridge

Position and status

Anyone who visited Esenyurt ten years ago and sees it now will note the drastic changes to the infrastructure and the district's intense interest in contemporary architecture and urban design.

In comparison to other districts of Istanbul, the Esenyurt area's infrastructure and geography are rocky and sturdy, and together with Çamlıca, Fatih, and other locations, Esenyurt is said to be one of Istanbul's highest areas and situated high above the Marmara Sea. As is the case, for instance, in the Başakşehir district, which is likewise situated on a rocky hill, this increases its strength and resilience against earthquakes and other natural disasters!

Esenyurt district: history, nomenclature, and inhabitants

The Esenyurt district is located in one of Istanbul's oldest human settlements, and up until the eighteenth century, the land of this area was exclusively used for agriculture. Between 1920 and 1938, as the city grew, it started to see both internal and external immigration from Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Kars, and Artvin. This continued until it was incorporated as a municipality in 1989. In 1967, the area was given its present name in honor of a local person. English's equivalent of "esenyurt" is the concept of a home, both spiritual and material.

Detailed information about the Esenyurt district of Istanbul

Since it is Istanbul's largest municipality, the social and economic status of its citizens differs greatly. It has been characterized as a region with few services and a low standard of living by some. However, as we already indicated, it is a sizable, expansive municipality made up of 43 neighborhoods, ranging from affluent to popular, with both noisy and calm areas. There is also a significant ethnic diversity within this district. As a result, the area has two extremely distinct life styles, which are as follows:

• The modern style: These are the brand-new, premium communities in the Esenyurt region that are full of modern residential complexes that have lately been built.
• The popular style: It comprises historic and secluded communities, and the structures are generally self-contained. The centers of these communities are chaotic and heavily populated, and real estate and rent are quite inexpensive. These neighborhoods are bustling with activity and are full of well-known marketplaces at affordable prices.

This variety of lifestyles has drawn people to the area, making it one of the most sought-after locations for foreign investment, rental properties, and property ownership in Turkey.

The population of Esenyurt

As a consequence of the urban development initiatives undertaken by the Turkish government and the municipality of Esenyurt, as well as the investments and housing projects that overwhelmed the territory and attracted the populace, the population of the Esenyurt region has expanded dramatically in recent years.

Infrastructure in Esenyurt

The infrastructure of the Esenyurt region has undergone a considerable transformation, and only those who lived there five years ago or more can tell the difference. It has since changed entirely, becoming a richer area with opulent residential complexes, broad highways, means of transportations, and fundamental services for health, education, and other essentials of life.

Being one of Istanbul's most significant real estate investment locations, this area has evolved greatly. Esenyurt has a high real estate value due to its strategic and significant position, as well as the fact that it is situated between the two busiest highways in Istanbul.

Esenyurt presently has a well-developed infrastructure with comfortable and easy access to hospitals, health centers, educational institutions, and shopping centers.

Esenyurt municipality

Esenyurt Municipality is regarded as one of Istanbul's most engaged and dynamic municipalities. All regional operations, be they for a Turkish national or a foreign resident, are administered via this diligent municipality. At the end of the previous year, the Greater Istanbul Municipality Council gave Esenyurt Municipality the largest budget—more than one billion and 306 million Turkish liras—to carry out its duties and provide services to its residents.

Esenyurt Municipality is in charge of all governmental duties in the area, especially duties connected to the lives of the local populace, including roads, gardens, buildings, and services. The Esenyurt Municipality building is one of the government buildings in the region's core, and it offers all of its services during regular business hours. Citizens can make an appointment on the municipality's website to avoid having to wait for long periods of time.

Esenyurt Square

It is a large space in the middle of the Esenyurt district and one of the most significant sights in the area. Its name became famous in the European section of Istanbul and was well recognized owing to the diversity of its visitors of different nationalities.

As a comprehensive hub for all types of services that people require, Esenyurt Square is quite significant, hosting many dining restaurants, coffee shops, international stores, educational and beauty facilities, and hospitals. Like many other parts of Istanbul, Esenyurt Square is always bustling with activity, and the police are always present to maintain security in the area. Esenyurt Square also serves as a venue for large gatherings and important holidays, in addition to Ramadan-related activities and events.

Regarding the transportation system in the square, a bus stop, including city and mini buses, is accessible, in addition to the availability of taxis and a metro station that will be constructed close by.

Nature in Esenyurt

Esenyurt features several parks and other natural areas that locals use for recreation, including Erdogan Park, which has extensive green space covering an area of more than 76,000 square meters, and Veterans Park (Gaziler Parkı), which is abundant in different kinds of trees, cafés, and water spaces. Additionally, Esenyurt is surrounded by a lot of lush, natural areas where the locals frequently go to relax.

Esenyurt: the basics

Esenyurt is distinguished by its attractive water views since it looks out over various bodies of water, which has increased the value and advantageous position of Esenyurt. It is just 3 km from the Sea of Marmara and situated directly to the west of Lake Büyükçekmece and to the east of Lake Küçükçekmece. With the anticipated completion of the metro line in the upcoming year, its real estate significance will also rise.

Esenyurt: characteristics and features

As was previously noted, the Esenyurt district has undergone significant growth and has emerged as one of Istanbul's most significant residential regions. In addition to the fact that its residential complexes are modern, they are safe thanks to a 24-hour monitoring and guarding system, have extremely opulent technical designs, and use high-quality finishing materials.

The following is the most important features of the Esenyurt region:

• The E-5 and E-80 freeways, which link all parts of Istanbul together, are two of the most significant routes in the area
• Availability of several significant multi-language-speaking hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Robust and modern infrastructure
• Availability of many significant commercial hubs there
• The variety of residential and commercial real estate possibilities and opportunities
• Daily urban development initiatives and services are launched as a result of the Turkish government's interest in the area
• Proximity to Istanbul's most prominent European neighborhoods, including Beylikdüzü and Başakşehir

Additional features

• There are several premium and contemporary residential complexes
• The cost of real estate is often affordable
• For Arabic-speaking investors, the presence of Arab inhabitants in the region would assist integration and reduce the sensation of living in a strange country

Esenyurt's attraction factors: what are they?

The large number of people who picked the Esenyurt region as their home demonstrates that the Turkish government effort was not in vain and that there must have been genuine factors to consider that made Esenyurt the most dominant and popular district in Istanbul. Being a market leader in the Turkish real estate sector for many years, we are positive that the availability of remarkable services and amenities, as well as the affordable and acceptable pricing of real estate in the Esenyurt district, are the most significant elements that have drawn inhabitants there.

Investment in real estate in Esenyurt

In principle, investing in Istanbul is a fantastic opportunity with enormous investment potential for individuals looking to put money into the real estate market and generate high, profitable returns. The Turkish construction industry has experienced prosperity and growth in recent years, putting Turkey at the top of the list of countries that sell real estate. And with the Turkish government authorizing the opportunity of acquiring Turkish citizenship through real estate investment, real estate sales quickly reached record highs.

The Esenyurt region experienced urban expansion and development, which boosted the population's need for housing there. This resulted in the attraction of new investors and several high-tech construction companies that created the most opulent real estate complexes, which further contributed to drawing people and investors and establishing the region as a vibrant investment destination.

Development and urbanization in Esenyurt

The Esenyurt region today has more than 100 enormous residential complexes, and it would not have achieved this level if the housing and building sectors had not undergone a renaissance at both the governmental and private levels.

In 2018, Esenyurt's average price per square meter was projected to be 1,947 Turkish liras, compared to 2,428 in areas like Beylikdüzü and Silivri. However, the previous several years saw tremendous inflation due to the great demand for real estate in this area.

The future of Esenyurt

The Esenyurt region is expected to benefit more and more from the continued urbanization initiatives being spearheaded by the Turkish government, which seek to restore and replace outdated structures. These efforts will soon be reflected in various sections of Esenyurt. The development of residential complexes, infrastructure improvements, and services in the Esenyurt region promises prosperity for investment.

According to analyses by real estate specialists, the region will not simply relinquish its leadership throughout the following years, at least from 2022 to 2030, since Esenyurt apartments and residential complexes still have many qualities that are unmatched.

The real estate importance of Esenyurt

Esenyurt was one of the most rural places away from the center, hence real estate prices were low. However, with the attention of the Turkish government and urban development projects, in addition to the metrobus route reaching there, Esenyurt underwent a civilizational resurrection, attracted investors, and became of enormous real estate importance.

Numerous construction firms are presently working on developing residential and commercial projects in this area, and as a result, property values are expected to skyrocket, particularly with the addition of new metro lines in the area.

Esenyurt: Investment and settling down

Esenyurt drew in investors and mesmerized them with its opulent residential complexes and alluring prices; thus, a large number of people looking for apartments for sale in Istanbul moved there as a result of professionals' consistent advice about the importance of real estate investment in it.

We have discussed the advantages of the region for individuals who wish to live there, such as the availability of contemporary housing complexes, upscale neighborhoods, amenities, and services, its strategic position, and the significant number of governmental, Arabic, and international schools that make relocating there effective. Moreover, Esenyurt contains properties that qualify for Turkish citizenship applications.

Esenyurt: a modern investment venue with rising potential value

Since it was declared an autonomous municipality in 2008, the municipality of Esenyurt has increased its development and expansion efforts, which has boosted the region's market value and made it more desirable to both foreign investors and domestic citizens of Turkey. Esenyurt had a population of only 553,369 people in 2012, but it has grown to about one million people in the last ten years. This is owing to the region's urban expansion, and it has therefore become a high-value investment destination that will increase significantly in the future, according to figures and reports made by specialists in the sector.

Esenyurt district: first investment site in Istanbul

Within a short period of time, Esenyurt climbed to the top of Istanbul's investment destinations. In August 2018, real estate sales in Istanbul topped 15,000 properties, with Esenyurt holding the lion's share, accounting for 2,460 units, or 16% of the total sales volume. Esenyurt again was the most popular real estate market in Turkey in 2019, according to official information from the Turkish Statistics Authority, with 33 thousand and 194 properties sold.

As a result, the Esenyurt has continued to draw investors, and it is the district with the highest rates when acquiring apartments for sale in Turkey in general and Istanbul in particular. Real estate values are likely to rise dramatically in the next few years as a result of the new metro lines, which will make commuting from there to anywhere else in the city easier and improve the value of real estate investment in this district.

Real estate investment opportunities in Esenyurt

Real estate investment in the Esenyurt region has increased steadily and rapidly since it is a location rich in real estate possibilities and offers investors several investment opportunities with assured investment returns. The following are some real estate investment options in the Esenyurt area:

• Investing in real estate and apartments
• Investing in commercial real estate and offices
• Investing in student apartments and youth housing
• Investing in hotel and furnished apartments
• Investing in schools and commercial buildings

Real estate projects in Esenyurt

Esenyurt's real estate projects are now a popular destination for those seeking settling and accommodation in a place with an average standard of living since these projects are more affordable than other parts of Istanbul, but what makes these projects unique? And why did we suggest that Esenyurt has grown to be a famous tourist destination for visitors to Istanbul? The answer may be found in the following paragraphs:

• The majority of Esenyurt's real estate projects are contemporary and constructed in accordance with the most recent regulations and requirements appropriate for the quake and other catastrophic situations. And, because the district is new and now blooming with urban features, these projects have a distinct value when compared to real estate projects in other regions of Istanbul, given that the majority of them are still under construction.
• The concentration of real estate projects in communities rather than others—who has not heard of Cumhuriyet Mahallesi? Certainly, no visitor to Esenyurt has not heard of Cumhuriyet Mahallesi or seen the marvel of new and big skyscrapers and buildings. Also, there is another area named Zafer Mahallesi; when you see it, you feel like you are in Sarıyer or Şişli! As a result, the presence of real estate projects in a neighborhood leads to the development of new infrastructure and important utilities.
• Price competition with neighboring regions. Esenyurt was, without a doubt, very inexpensive and unpleasant prior to all of the recent developments. However, this offered an opportunity for the owners of construction companies, some of whom controlled the region and constructed a series of huge real estate projects there. As a result, as it thrived, the specs in the new Esenyurt were the same as those found in the projects in the heart of Istanbul, but the costs were half the price.
• Apartments in Esenyurt real estate complexes provide rewarding investment returns. This is due to the high demand for purchasing in this region, and as a result, the resale process became very profitable, as did the leasing process, which had a high value, regardless of the investment returns, which reached twice their value in the areas mentioned in the previous paragraph. Now let us learn more about Esenyurt's prestigious projects and housing complexes.
