Beşiktaş Apartments for Sale
We have 24 apartments for sale in Beşiktaş, priced from $460K to $4.8M. The list starts with the newest listing, so the apartment that joined our portfolio last comes first. To compare with the district next door see the apartments in Sarıyer, and for the whole city all our Istanbul residences.
What is Beşiktaş like?
Beşiktaş is a district on the European side, on the shore of the Bosphorus. Dolmabahçe and Çırağan palaces, Yıldız Park and the square at Ortaköy are here, and so are the waterfronts of Bebek and Arnavutköy. Part of the city's business district is inside it too, around Levent and Zincirlikuyu.
In short, living in Beşiktaş means being close to both the Bosphorus and work. That closeness has a price: there is little building land left, so a new apartment usually comes either in a tower project or in a small project that replaces an old building.
Where to look in Beşiktaş
Zincirlikuyu and Balmumcu are where the residence towers are: Zorlu Center Residences, Çiftçi Towers, Selenium Twins and Kempinski Residences, for people who want a serviced life with a reception, security and a gym. The M2 metro and the bridge approach roads are right beside them.
Etiler, Akatlar and Ulus are quieter hills where more families live. Here there are Senfoni Etiler, Polat Akatlar and apartments in Ulus that look over the Bosphorus. On the waterfront, in Bebek and Ortaköy, apartments for sale are rare. If that is what you want, ask us and we will tell you when one comes in.
In the centre of the district, within walking distance of the market and the ferry pier, there are new projects such as Referans Beşiktaş and Barbaros 48. From here the ferry makes Kadıköy and Üsküdar an easy crossing.
Apartment prices in Beşiktaş
The 24 apartments on this page range from $460K to $4.8M. The project itself, the view and the size of the apartment move the price most. Even within one project, an apartment that sees the Bosphorus costs far more than one that does not.
In a residence, the sale price is not the only cost. Reception, security, the pool and the gym come back every month as a service charge. Ask for last year's actual figure, not the brochure's.
What to check before you buy
The first question is the iskan, the occupancy permit: without it a bank will not lend against the apartment and utility connections can be a problem. Some projects on this page are still being built, so settle the handover date and the status of the iskan before you sign.
Title deed fee is 4% of the sale price, split by law half and half between buyer and seller. You can work out your own figure with our title deed fee calculator, and the annual tax with our property tax calculator.
Most apartments on this page are above the US$400,000 Turkish citizenship threshold. The threshold is measured against the official valuation, not the contract price, and the title deed carries a three-year no-sale annotation.
