Arnavutköy is one of Istanbul's largest and fastest-changing districts. It sits in the north-west of the European side, is home to Istanbul Airport, is crossed by the Northern Marmara Motorway, and holds most of the planned Yenişehir new city along the Kanal Istanbul route. That makes it the first stop for buyers who want land whose value is tied to the city's biggest projects.
Türkiye's largest airport lies within the district, bringing service, logistics and housing demand, and it is served by the airport metro line.
A planned new city on both banks of Kanal Istanbul, mostly inside Arnavutköy. The release of detailed zoning plans can change land values significantly.
The Northern Marmara Motorway and the airport roads link the district to the Asian side, to Tekirdağ and to the city centre.
Unlike crowded inner districts, Arnavutköy still offers large plots suited to villas, compounds and long-term investment.
The map shows the district boundary, the main motorways, Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen airports, Taksim and the Kanal Istanbul route.

We value your land against the plan and its location, and present it to our network of investors in the Gulf and Türkiye.
It is the Istanbul district most closely tied to the city's major projects — the airport, the Yenişehir plan and Kanal Istanbul — so it suits medium- and long-term investment. Returns depend on the exact plot and its zoning status, not on the district name alone.
Land inside the plan depends on the new zoning decisions, and its value moves when detailed plans are approved. Land outside is governed by the municipality's current zoning. We check the zoning status of every plot before you buy.
Yes — with a passport and a Turkish tax number, within the 30-hectare limit, once we confirm the plot is not in a restricted military or security zone.
