About the district

Beykoz occupies the northern Asian shore of the Bosphorus and extends inland to the Polonezköy forest. The district is one of the greenest in Istanbul, combining Bosphorus waterfront mansions, luxury villa estates (Acarkent, Beykoz Konakları) and traditional village-feel neighborhoods.

Access to the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge keeps Beykoz within reach of the European side despite its leafy character.

Access and transport

Beykoz is primarily road-and-ferry connected, with Marmaray and metro nearby.

Real estate and investment

Beykoz pricing reflects its luxury villa inventory. Villas in Acarkent and Beykoz Konakları can range from USD 2M to over USD 10M. Modern apartments in Kavacık start around USD 2,500–4,000 per square meter, with Bosphorus-view units commanding significantly higher premiums.

The market is primarily end-user driven — buyers seeking space, privacy and Bosphorus views. Rental yields are lower than central districts, but capital appreciation is strong in prime villa pockets.
