Haliç Property Guide

Haliç, the Golden Horn, is the long inlet of the Bosphorus that separates Istanbul’s historic peninsula from Beyoğlu. Its shores run through Fatih, Beyoğlu, Eyüpsultan and Kağıthane on the European side, so Haliç is a waterfront area shared by several districts rather than a single neighbourhood.

For much of the last century the Golden Horn was lined with shipyards and factories. Since the water was cleaned up, its shores have filled with parks, museums and congress venues, and the historic shipyards are being redeveloped. Balat and Fener, with their colourful restored houses, attract visitors from all over the world, while new residential projects rise on the upper Golden Horn around Eyüpsultan.

Getting around is easy. The M2 metro crosses the water on the Haliç Metro Bridge, the T5 tram follows the southern shore to Eminönü, ferries run along the Golden Horn, and the Haliç Bridge connects the area to the main highways.

For investors, Haliç offers:

• A central location between the historic peninsula and Beyoğlu
• Water and city views from many new projects
• Ongoing regeneration along the shoreline
• Rental demand from people working in the city centre

Homes range from restored historic houses to modern apartments in gated projects. For buyers who want a new home close to old Istanbul, Haliç is one of the most interesting areas to watch.
