When one thinks of living in Istanbul, popular districts such as Bebek, Nişantaşı, or Ataşehir usually come to mind. However, recent assessments have somewhat altered this perception. A completely different region has now risen to the top, based on analyses considering transportation, safety, green spaces, and social amenities. Let's see which district this might be.
In a recent assessment, Istinye, Yenikoy, and Tarabya in Sariyer stand out according to criteria such as transportation, social amenities, security, green spaces, and proximity to the sea. Thanks to the privileges offered by the Bosphorus line, these areas rank among the points with the highest living standards in Istanbul.
The district, distinguished by its integration with nature, orderly layout, and tranquil atmosphere, offers a balanced living space thanks to its proximity to modern city life. In particular, Istinye, Yenikoy, and Tarabya stand out in terms of quality of life with their close locations to transportation networks, expansive green spaces, coastal walkways, and social amenities. These neighborhoods not only provide easy access to the city center, but also stand out for offering a peaceful living environment away from the noise and crowd.
While the increasing density and high rental prices in long-standing prestigious districts like Bebek, Ataşehir, and Nişantaşı are making life difficult, Istinye, Yeniköy, and Tarabya offer a more sustainable alternative. With their proximity to the Bosphorus, secure environments, vibrant social life, and abundance of green spaces, these areas are emerging as new hubs that enhance the quality of life in Istanbul for both families and young professionals.
