Kadıköy apartments for sale, on the Asian shore of Istanbul
Kadıköy apartments for sale, chosen with a local team that specialises in this district. We read the title deed before we list a home, and we show it on video if you are abroad. We also explain which of the 21 mahalle suits the way you travel.
- 21 km of Marmara coast
- 21 mahalle on the title deeds
- 3 rail lines running, a fourth planned
- Ferry from the Kadıköy pier
Kadıköy real estate: five corners, five ways to live
Kadıköy is a hub rather than one neighbourhood. About 460,000 people live along its coast and up the slopes behind it. Decide first what your day looks like, then pick the corner that matches it.
-
The pier, Çarşı and Moda
The ferry pier, the central market and the Moda seafront lie within a short walk of each other. Moda is a semt, an everyday area name, inside Caferağa mahalle, so a listing may use either word.
-
Göztepe, Caddebostan and Erenköy
Bağdat Caddesi runs through these seaside mahalle. Göztepe is the most populated of the 21. Marmaray stops at Göztepe and Erenköy, whereas Caddebostan has no station of its own.
-
Fenerbahçe and Kalamış
A peninsula named after its 1856 lighthouse. The Kalamış yacht marina sits on its north-west shore, and Dalyan wraps around the south-east bay.
-
Inland along the M4
Behind the coast, metro stations run from the Kadıköy terminus through Acıbadem and Göztepe to Kozyatağı, where the M8 crosses. In short, you can live away from the water and still travel by rail.
-
Fikirtepe, beside the D-100
The district’s renewal mahalle, where new towers replace older blocks under a ministry project. Each flat needs its own paperwork check. Read the Fikirtepe guide

Property for sale in Kadıköy, Istanbul
Every home for sale shows its gross area and, beside the price, the price per square metre. Filter by budget, part of the district and view to narrow the list.
Our first Kadıköy listings are being prepared
A home goes online only after we have walked through it, photographed it and read its title deed. Send us your brief today, and we will write to you the moment something suitable is ready.
How we work with Kadıköy buyers and owners
One team handles the search, the paperwork and the follow-up. Therefore you deal with the same people throughout, from your first inquiry to key handover.
-
Find and buy
People who ask for houses for sale in Kadıköy usually end up in an apartment, because the district grew through apartment blocks. We shortlist flats against your brief and note each building’s age and floor.
-
Sell a flat
We propose an asking price from comparable flats nearby, shoot proper photographs and write the advertisement in English and Turkish.
-
Let or rent
Owners who live abroad get tenant search and a check on references. People moving to the district can ask us for flats near their rail or ferry stop.
-
Ask first
Questions about mahalle, fees or paperwork cost nothing. If another part of Istanbul fits you better, we will say so.
Buying a Kadıköy apartment from abroad: five steps
Most overseas buyers follow the same route. Meanwhile we stay next to you at each step, in person or on a call.
Tell us what you need
Your budget, the rooms, the part of Kadıköy you lean towards and the view you want: sea, park or street. We send flats that fit and show them on a video call or in person.
Get a tax number
A tax office issues the vergi numarası against your passport, often within a day. You also need it to open the Turkish bank account that the payment passes through.
Order the valuation
A licensed valuation firm inspects the flat and writes the report. The Land Registry asks foreign buyers to file it before the transfer can go ahead.
Take out DASK and sign
Once the DASK earthquake policy is issued, you and the seller meet at the tapu office. A sworn interpreter can sit beside you if you need one.
Collect the keys
We hand over keys and help with utilities. A deed in your name can support a residence permit application. Citizenship follows a separate rule: $400,000 of property held for three years.
Who you will speak to
Pick an adviser by language and by what you want to do: buy, sell or let. Each one has visited the flats they talk about.

Kadıköy apartments for sale: your first questions
Which side of Istanbul is Kadıköy on?
The Asian, or Anatolian, side. Kadıköy faces the Sea of Marmara, with Üsküdar to the north-west, Ataşehir to the north-east and Maltepe to the east. Across the water lies the historic peninsula.
Is Kadıköy part of Istanbul?
Yes. It is one of the city’s districts, with 458,573 residents at the end of 2025 on about 25 km², split into 21 mahalle. The title deed names the mahalle, so a good listing does too.
Which metro and rail lines serve Kadıköy?
The M4 metro starts at Kadıköy and heads for Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Marmaray calls at seven stops from Ayrılık Çeşmesi to Bostancı. The M8 has two stations in the district, Emin Ali Paşa and Ayşekadın. The M12 from Göztepe is planned for December 2026. Ferries leave from the pier, and the Metrobus ends at Söğütlüçeşme.
What is the difference between a mahalle and a semt?
A mahalle is an official neighbourhood and appears on your deed. A semt is an everyday name for an area, such as Moda, Kalamış or Yeldeğirmeni. Moda lies inside Caferağa mahalle, and Kalamış inside Fenerbahçe, so ads may use either name.
Can foreigners buy property in Kadıköy?
Most nationalities can own a flat outright. Three things come before the transfer at the Land Registry: a Turkish tax number, a licensed valuation report and a DASK earthquake policy. We help you arrange each one.
Does buying in Kadıköy lead to Turkish citizenship?
Only if the property you buy is worth at least $400,000 and you hold it for three years; the deed carries that note. A cheaper flat does not qualify. It may support a residence permit application, but a permit is not automatic and nobody can promise either decision.
How should I approach a flat in a renewal area such as Fikirtepe?
Treat each flat as its own file. Read the title deed and its annotations, ask the municipality about the planning status of that parcel and find out who the seller is. The district’s main renewal project has a long legal history, so read our Fikirtepe guide before you view.
Tell us which Kadıköy apartment you want
Send your budget, the number of bedrooms and the part of the district you prefer. Add whether you need the ferry, Marmaray or the metro close by, and when you plan to move. You get a personal reply within one working day.
