About the district
Üsküdar sits directly across from Eminönü and Beşiktaş on the Asian shoreline of the Bosphorus. One of Istanbul's oldest districts, it balances mosque-adjacent historic cores — Mihrimah Sultan and Semsipaşa — with newer corridors in Acıbadem, Çamlıca and Altunizade. Family-oriented neighborhoods dominate, but luxury Bosphorus and Çamlıca-view apartments are a growing segment.
The district offers one of the most reliable Bosphorus crossings for commuters thanks to Marmaray and multiple ferry lines.
Access and transport
Üsküdar is the pivotal junction for Asian-side commuters, with rail, ferry and road links all available.

Main neighborhoods
From waterfront historic cores to hillside residential projects, Üsküdar offers wide variety.
Acıbadem
A modern, health-sector-anchored neighborhood with new residences and quick access to the First Bosphorus Bridge.
Çamlıca
A hillside neighborhood with panoramic Bosphorus views and villa stock.
Altunizade
An office-and-residential junction with Capitol Mall and metro access.

Real estate and investment
Üsküdar is more affordable than Beşiktaş or Şişli for most product types, with modern 2+1 apartments in Acıbadem and Altunizade typically starting around USD 2,500–4,000 per square meter. Bosphorus-view units in Beylerbeyi and Çamlıca can exceed USD 6,000 per square meter, and historic yalı mansions carry very high per-unit prices.
Family demand underpins the resale market, while medical-tourism and professional tenancy drive rental occupancy near the hospitals. Üsküdar remains one of the most liquid Asian-side districts for both residents and investors.
