Data note: Verify with a licensed SPK appraiser before any transaction.
Transport
The M7 metro line now provides improved connectivity to Mecidiyeköy and Kabataş. Bus networks supplement metro service. The district’s transport position has improved meaningfully compared to five years ago.
Investment Profile
Sultangazi is a local affordable residential market. The M7 metro extension is a positive long-term signal, but the district remains peripheral relative to Istanbul’s employment and lifestyle centres. Suitable only for investors focused on maximum affordability with metro access.
