Ataşehir is Istanbul's answer to a planned business district — wide avenues, glass towers, shopping malls, and residential skyscrapers built largely from scratch over the past 15 years.
Who Lives in Ataşehir
The neighbourhood attracts affluent Turkish professionals and increasingly international executives. Many major Turkish banks and corporations have relocated their headquarters here, creating a dense concentration of high-paying jobs on the Asian side.
Real Estate in Ataşehir
Ataşehir has some of the highest per-square-metre prices on the Asian side. A 2+1 in a well-maintained tower block averages ₺40,000–₺70,000 per month in rent. For buyers, prices range from $3,500 to $6,000 per square metre.
Practical Considerations
The M4 metro line connects Ataşehir to Kadıköy in 12 minutes. The absence of historic street life and independent cafes is a trade-off that some residents find jarring after the character of older districts.
