Pick your line, then your street
People in Ümraniye tend to describe where they live by the nearest metro stop. Two lines already run through the district and a third is being built, so a flat’s daily rhythm depends a great deal on which of them it is close to.

Flats on our books in Ümraniye
Each listing gives gross size, cost per square metre and deed status, so a compact flat near Çarşı and a roomier one out towards Dudullu can be judged side by side.
Listings appear once we have seen each flat
Before a home goes on this page, an agent has stood in it, read the title deed and photographed the actual rooms. Share your search today and we will send you suitable flats directly, often before they are published.
Work, shopping and parks close to home
Ümraniye was a village until around 1960. Today it is one of the city’s big working districts, and much of daily life can stay within its boundaries.
Offices and industry
The Istanbul Finance Centre stands in Finanskent on the Ataşehir border, and the Dudullu Organised Industrial Zone lies in Yukarı Dudullu, towards the east.
Malls within the district
Meydan, Canpark, Akyaka Park, Metrogarden and Buyaka, plus the city’s first IKEA.
Room to breathe
Hekimbaşı Millet Bahçesi, opened in 2021, adds walking and cycling paths, playgrounds and picnic lawns.
Buying from overseas, stage by stage
If you live outside Türkiye, this is the order your purchase will follow. One agent stays with you for all of it.
Your brief, our shortlist
Tell us the budget, the room layout and which metro line or mahalle you want to be near. We visit the candidates and show you the strongest ones on camera or face to face.
Tax number and bank
A tax office issues your vergi numarası against your passport in a few minutes. With it you open the Turkish account that the purchase money is paid through.
The valuation
An appraiser licensed for real estate visits the flat and writes a report on its value. Foreign buyers cannot be booked in at the Land Registry without it.
Signing at the tapu
With DASK cover in place, both parties sign at the Land Registry, a sworn interpreter beside you if needed, and you leave with a deed in your own name.
Settling in
Utilities move into your name, and the deed becomes part of any residence permit file. The separate citizenship route needs $400,000 of property kept for three years.
What we do for clients
Sales, rentals and straight advice, all focused on Ümraniye.
Selling your flat
A realistic price based on comparable listings, plain honest photography, and a description in English and Turkish for buyers at home and abroad.
Renting and letting
Furnished and unfurnished flats for people working in the district, and reliable tenants for landlords who live elsewhere.
An independent view

Ümraniye, answered
Which side of Istanbul is Ümraniye on?
The Asian, or Anatolian, side. It is an inland district of the city with no coastline of its own: Üsküdar lies to its west, Ataşehir to the south, Sancaktepe to the east, Çekmeköy to the north-east and Beykoz to the north-west.
How do residents get to the rest of the city?
Mainly on the M5 metro, which has nine stations in the district and reaches Üsküdar, where you can change to Marmaray and cross under the Bosphorus. The M8 links Dudullu with Bostancı. Drivers use the O-2 ring road, which crosses to Europe on the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge.
Is the M12 metro open yet?
Not yet. The M12, which will run from Kâzım Karabekir through Çarşı, Atakent, Site and Finans Merkezi towards Ataşehir and Göztepe, is still under construction. The municipality has said it expects to open it in December 2026; we treat any listing that leans on it as relying on a plan, not a finished line.
Can I buy a flat here without Turkish citizenship?
In most cases, yes, with the tapu in your own name. Three things come first: a Turkish tax number, a licensed appraisal report and compulsory DASK earthquake cover. Should a specific flat be restricted for your nationality, you hear it from us before any offer.
Does an Ümraniye apartment lead to citizenship?
Only when your property, one flat or several together, is appraised at $400,000 or more and the deed records a three-year commitment not to sell. A cheaper flat may still help with a residence permit, but the migration authority makes that call.
Where are the listings?
We publish a flat only once an agent has been inside it, checked the title deed and photographed the real rooms, so the page fills gradually. Send us what you are looking for and we will contact you with suitable homes, sometimes before they appear online.
The people you will deal with
Choose an agent by the language you speak or the help you need. Each one replies on WhatsApp and can show a flat room by room over video.
