Learn about the residential complexes in Istanbul:

Recently, the term residential complexes has become popular among the investors and all those looking for apartments and real estate for sale, and through the following paragraph we will mention all its pros and cons:

1 - Guarding and security throughout the time:

One of the most prominent features of housing in these complexes is that life is safe thanks to the availability of all means of protection such as surveillance cameras, alarms and guards at the external gates.

The apartments are not likely to be burgled because everyone who enters them is verified so they can travel or leave the country with confidence.

2 - A quiet life, away from the noise:

If you love a quiet life, the residential complexes are great options as they consist of a group of isolated buildings with an external wall from the noise and hustle of the city.

 3 - Gorgeous geometric design:

Construction companies compete with each other to provide the best modern and elegant engineering designs that attract attention in order to attract investors and foreigners.

Modern building and construction standards are relied upon, both externally and internally, and are also available in different styles to suit everyone.

These complexes offer you a high-end life full of luxury and comfort thanks to the services they provide (swimming pools - gardens - gym - playgrounds - cinema - theaters - school - mosque - restaurants - cafes - shops - parking lots).

Cons of living in an apartment within residential complex in Istanbul:

1 - The prices of real estate within the residential complexes are somewhat high if compared to the prices outside.

2 - They are often built in areas far from the city center, i.e. in the suburbs, because they need large areas and cannot be widely available within the city.

Advantages of living in independent buildings:

Also, stand-alone buildings do not lack advantages and positives and many people still choose them.

1 - Great Variety and Multiple Choices:

Outside the residential complexes, you will find many independent buildings and various options that suit everyone, and their specifications vary greatly, depending on the area in which they are located.

We advise you to choose an apartment close to the service facilities, especially if you live with your family, so that all family members can easily meet their needs.

The prices of this type of apartments also vary significantly, depending on their features and specifications.

2 - Their prices are low and suitable:

The prices of apartments outside the complexes are lower than those inside, whether you want to buy or rent, and this is suitable for people with low or medium budgets.

3 - They are in the city center:

If you want to live in separate buildings, you do not have to move away from the city center or its surroundings, as there are many offers that suit you and are close to services, schools, transportation, and others.

Are there downsides to living in detached apartments in Istanbul?

In contrast to the case in the residential complexes here, you will be responsible for many things, such as providing maintenance and cleaning services, not to mention having to live in a noisy center away from peace and comfort, and this is one of the negatives of living in the center of cities.

Also, you will not find the beautiful view you dream of or the high-end entertainment services that provide you with a different life.

These buildings are satisfied with the services and features provided by the Turkish government to the region only and what the residents seek to secure. It also lacks security services, and do not forget that the independent buildings are old, meaning more than twenty years have passed since their construction, unlike modern residential complexes.
