Sea View Apartments for Sale in Maltepe Istanbul | Özak Dragos Residences

Özak Dragos — Princes’ Islands & Marmara Sea Views on Istanbul’s Asian Coast

Özak Dragos is a premium residential development in Maltepe — one of Istanbul’s fastest-appreciating Asian coastal districts — perched above the Marmara Sea with sweeping views of the Princes’ Islands and the Istanbul skyline. Built by Özak GYO on a hillside plot in Dragos, the project delivers 1+1 to 3+1 apartments with panoramic sea views at price points that remain substantially below comparable Kadıköy or Beşiktaş seafront addresses.

Maltepe — The Asian Coast’s Investment Hotspot

Maltepe has transformed over the past decade into one of Istanbul’s most desirable coastal districts on the Asian side. The Marmaray commuter rail and E5 highway provide rapid connections to central Istanbul, while the Maltepe coastal promenade, Maltepe Marina, and the Princes’ Islands ferry terminal give the district a lifestyle dimension that purely urban districts cannot match. New residential towers, an expanding waterfront, and consistent infrastructure investment have driven strong and sustained price appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Özak Dragos Maltepe

What is the starting price at Özak Dragos?

Özak Dragos offers 1+1 apartments starting from $317,000 USD for approximately 85 sqm with Marmara Sea views — representing excellent value for a sea-view new-build on Istanbul’s Asian coast, priced well below comparable Kadıköy or Bosphorus-front addresses.

Is Özak Dragos eligible for Turkish Citizenship?

Yes. The 2+1 sea-view configuration at $449,000 and the 3+1 at $599,000 both exceed the $400,000 Turkish Citizenship by Investment threshold. The 1+1 at $317,000 is not eligible for the citizenship programme.

What is the rental demand like in Maltepe?

Maltepe generates strong rental demand from three overlapping tenant groups: long-term professional residents who prefer the Asian side’s calmer lifestyle, short-term visitors accessing the Princes’ Islands by ferry, and Kadıköy-adjacent tenants priced out of that premium district. Combined, this drives near-zero vacancy rates for quality sea-view apartments.

How is Maltepe connected to central Istanbul?

Maltepe is served by the Marmaray commuter rail (Kadıköy in 12 minutes, Üsküdar in 18 minutes) and the E5 coastal highway. The Bostancı–Pendik metro line extension further improves connectivity. Sabiha Gökçen Airport is 20 minutes by car.
