How do I find a place to live in Turkey?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"One way to find a place to live in Turkey is to search online for rental listings. You can look for listings on websites such as Zingat, Sahibinden, and Emlakjet. Additionally, you can search for listings on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. You can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a place to live in Turkey. Additionally, you can ask friends and family who live in Turkey for recommendations," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Turkey.
"I recently married a lovely Turkish man and he already has his own home in a very nice neighborhood of Karsiyaka. It's a 10 min. walk to the seaside and parks and there are ample corner markets, bakeries, pharmacies and grocery stores nearby. The post office isn't far away either, so we are in a good location," commented one expat who made the move to Izmir, Turkey.
