Our Clients' Stories
Ayvansaray is a unique historic district in the European part of Istanbul, located on the shore of the Golden Horn and part of the Fatih district. It is one of the city’s oldest settlements, where Byzantine heritage, Islamic architecture, and rare authenticity have been preserved to this day. This area is ideal for those seeking real estate in Istanbul that combines historical charm, tranquility, and good transportation accessibility.
Real estate in Ayvansaray is mostly represented by low-rise houses and traditional Istanbul-style apartment buildings, with a limited number of new residential complexes. Investors appreciate the district’s location—only 10 minutes from Sultanahmet and near iconic landmarks such as Balat, Edirnekapi, the Tekfur Palace, and the Church of St. Mary of Blachernae. With growing interest from both foreigners and Turkish elites, the local property market is reviving.
Ayvansaray has excellent transport links: the T5 tram line passes through the area, connecting it to Eyüp and other neighborhoods along the Golden Horn. The E-5 highway and nearby Bosphorus bridges also provide convenient access. Within walking distance are grocery stores, schools, mosques, hospitals, and the waterfront promenade offering scenic views.
Buying an apartment or house in Ayvansaray is a rare chance to become part of Istanbul’s historical and cultural legacy. The area is in demand both for permanent residence and rentals, especially among tourists who prefer quiet districts with a rich history.

FAQ about real estate in Istanbul
Wealthy buyers are interested in purchasing residential properties in the Sarıyer region on the European side of the Bosphorus. The cost per square meter here exceeds 3.5 thousand dollars.
The cost of the purchased property depends on the type and location of the property, including the prestige of the area, the distance from the sea, the development of infrastructure, and other factors. We are ready to help you find the real estate that suits your desires.
It is not possible to give a definitive answer to this question. Each district of Istanbul is different from one another, and housing prices vary according to location. If you prefer a calm pace of life, you can look at apartments on the Prince Islands or in the Bosphorus area. You might prefer Kadıköy, Istanbul’s oldest district, where there is no tourist influx and where the colors of the east come together. Prestigious residences can be purchased in the Şişli and Beşiktaş districts.
