Maltepe Property Guide

Maltepe is a large residential district on the Asian side of Istanbul, stretching from the Marmara Sea coast inland to the hills of Başıbüyük. It lies between Kadıköy and Kartal, with Ataşehir and Sancaktepe to the north, and looks out across the water to the Princes’ Islands.

The district is one of the best connected on the Asian side. The M4 metro line (Kadıköy to Tavşantepe) runs through it with several stations, Marmaray stops along the coast reach the European side under the Bosphorus, and the E-5 highway crosses its center. Sabiha Gökçen Airport and the business districts of Kadıköy and Ataşehir are within easy reach.

Maltepe’s coastline is one of its main attractions: a long seaside park with walking and cycling paths, green areas and event grounds. Neighborhoods such as Bağlarbaşı, İdealtepe, Küçükyalı and Cevizli combine everyday city life with easy access to the sea.
