City Overview
Antalya is divided into three major districts: Kepez, Konyaaltı, and Muratpaşa.
Konyaaltı
This district is highly popular among foreigners. Properties near the marina are the most sought-after, with other desirable areas including Bahtılı and Hurma.
Liman
Liman is situated along a small pebble beach with clean and crystal-clear sea water. The area has a well-developed infrastructure, including hotels, supermarkets, small shops, restaurants, a farmer's market, and pharmacies. There is one polyclinic in the area, with the nearest hospital located 9 kilometers away.
The farmer's market offers a wide selection of exotic fruits.
In Liman (the marina area of Konyaaltı), preschool and primary education are available for non-Turkish-speaking residents.
The real estate market provides a variety of properties, ranging from economical apartments to villas. Rental prices vary between 200 and 700 euros per month, while property prices start at approximately 65,000 euros.
Most purchased properties are intended for resale, as new construction in the area is minimal.
Spacious apartments with sea views and large balconies are available.
Hurma
Hurma has a population of around 20,000 residents. It is located just one kilometer from the coast and offers picturesque views of the mountain peaks. The beach is within walking distance, making it a popular area for people of various nationalities who enjoy the tranquility of the location.
Hurma is just 2 kilometers from the sea.
The area is home to many shops and supermarkets, most of which offer home delivery services. A shopping center with an area of over 4,000 square meters is also planned for construction.
Hurma is a quiet family-friendly area with fewer entertainment facilities compared to Liman. There are no hospitals or schools in the area, but development plans are in place for the coming years.
Property prices here are lower than in Liman, and there is a wider selection of properties. Hurma features many new buildings, and it’s possible to purchase a property during the construction phase. While there are very few villas, the area is rapidly developing.
Buying an apartment in a new building is a profitable investment of savings.
Muratpaşa
This district is home to the old town with historically valuable buildings. There are few properties for sale among the ancient buildings. Another area of interest for property buyers is Lara.
Lara
Lara is the center of Antalya, built on a hill with a coastline made up of steep cliffs. It stretches for 15 kilometers. The real estate market offers both elite and affordable options. Lara is the center of entertainment and business life in Antalya, with offices of major companies, prestigious nightclubs, shopping malls, cafes, and parks. Within walking distance, there are numerous hospitals, private clinics, dental offices, gynecology, and cosmetology centers. Foreign-speaking children can receive secondary education or enroll in additional educational courses here.
Beautiful apartments in prestigious buildings are available in the Sirinyalı district.
Affordable apartments in Güzeloba are available starting at a base price of 45,000 euros. This district is just 9 kilometers from the airport, and the sound of airplanes can be heard during takeoff and landing.
Housing near the sandy beach is available in Kundu. Starting prices are at 55,000 euros for 2-3 bedroom properties.
An apartment in the Kundu area is available for a starting price of 55,000 euros.
Kepez
Kepez is the most populous district, with over 500,000 residents. Although it is rapidly developing, there are fewer foreigners in this area. However, as the area undergoes urban redevelopment with some prestigious complexes being built, more and more foreign buyers are showing great interest in Kepez. The distance from the airport is 13 km, from downtown Antalya is 10 km, and from the beach is 9 km.
Despite being an industrial zone with around 300 businesses, Kepez has many parks, squares, and wooded areas. The district is also home to a large zoo, a farm, and an extensive olive plantation.
Kepez district is just 15 km away from the beach.
The infrastructure is well-developed with many cafes, restaurants, a hospital for 300 patients, veterinary clinics, dental services, cosmetic services, and educational institutions (with English-speaking teachers).
In Antalya, you can buy various types of housing. Compared to other countries, the prices in Turkey are low. The owner can use the property for living or earn rental income. Such an investment is profitable as many people want to rent an apartment or villa.
