Safest Locations To Live in Istanbul!

The historical and cultural beauty of the city lures everyone to visit Istanbul. However, moving to Istanbul is something else! Due to the availability of the best colleges and universities, a very advanced health care system, and the fact that most of Istanbul's neighbourhoods are secure and elite places, millions of people around the world are constantly considering moving with their families to Istanbul and living there as well.

Turkey is a commercial, touristic, agricultural, and industrial country all at once, and this fact attracts and encourages investors to come and develop their businesses in this country and profit from its economic growth.

We will address residency in Istanbul's best neighbourhoods in this article, based on the quality of education, welfare, living, and safety, as determined by numerous academic and social studies conducted by city authorities and universities.

Before we get into the meat of our discussion, there are a few details about Istanbul that you should be aware of.

Istanbul is a massive city with a population of nearly 20 million people, and living in it is as beautiful and pleasant as it is challenging, owing to the fact that it is a congested city with traffic and parking issues as one of its major issues!

Istanbul is, of course, a highly developed area, with excellent public transportation and a diverse range of transportation options. During your Istanbul trip, you probably realized this.

European or Anatolian Side?

There are some sayings that can be true for some people, such as the Asian side of Istanbul being better suited for housing and security than the European side.

It is often preferable to choose a residence with internal parking, protection, and cleaning services when looking for a place to live. It is also better to select a residence that is close to your workplace, if possible, to reduce commuting distances that can exceed three hours per day.

If you're retired, it's best to live in a quiet community outside of town.

Cihangir

Since several of its fine 19th-century European-style buildings are being restored, and the neighborhood is close to all the day- and nightlife action on and close to Istiklal Caddesi, it is one of Istanbul's most interesting neighborhoods for young, innovative, upwardly-mobile Istanbullus and foreigners in the know to live. If you visit Istanbul, you should check Istiklal Street.

The adjacent ukurcuma neighborhood is the epicenter of Istanbul's antiques shopping.
