For instant, Başakşehir is one of the highest district in terms of ROI which was about 29% in 2016.

There are two sides of Istanbul; the European side and the Asian side. To be clear, the European side is considered better than the Asian side, owing to the majority of the population, the historic places, most of the best universities, and the most of business and commercial life are concentrated in the European side of Istanbul. Moreover, the Golden Horn, which is called in Turkish “Haliç” shaped on the European side, and considered the major urban waterway and the primary inlet of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. It is not far away from the golden horn, there are two important districts called Gaziosmanpaşa and Kağıthane. Gaziosmanpaşa is located on the European side with a population 400,000 and mixture of people belongs to different ethnics and religions. While Kağıthane is also located on the European side and considered one of the largest regeneration and real estate development districts in Istanbul. In the same context, Başakşehir as a city planned in luxury standards, in addition to its unique location, which is close to the most important facilities such as, Istanbul airport, Ataturk airport, the biggest city Hospital and public transportation, becomes one of the most promising regions in Istanbul.

• You might consider a reference about the history of the project and the developer.

Your decision of choosing an individual property for investment should be precisely taken. You must take into consideration that the lifestyle in Istanbul is more compact and practical, so that; a small property with one or two bedrooms is sufficient for you if you are a couple or a small family with one child; because as the bigger the size of the property is, the higher the fees you pay or higher price you will pay for purchasing. However, if you have a bigger family or you would like to live in a large house, then you should look for apartment with 3 or 4 bedrooms, depending on the number of your family members. Moreover, if you are one of those who would love to live a prestige life, then your choice could be villas or luxurious houses.
