Moving to istanbul in 2019

Hope you have found some place appropriate:)

we will be going to istanbul this week insshaAllah

Başakşehir is a great place for families, I have friends live there, I recommend a lot..

Did you go to live in Istanbul? How are you finding it?

How is Basekcehir? Is there a western Muslim community there?

Assalamualaiykum

UmmYusuf, did you go to Istanbul? Have you settled in?

We are moving too insha'Allah and viewing properties in Eyup in two weeks.

Hi Zara,

Eyup is better than Basaksehir.Eyup is in the center,but Basaksehir is so far from the center.The advantage of Basaksehir is to have so much new sites with security,garage,etc... and now to be close to the new airport.

Basaksehir is preferable if you want to live with Arab community.But if you ask me,I prefer Eyup.City centers are always better than out of the city.You will be in the life,close to the good schools,hospitals,social life...

Hi Piekator

Thank you for your advice.

Yes I think for us we prefer the Old City Life too. 

Any suggestions for a small mobile food van I'd. Prices, licence requirements etc.  Who will I need to go and see?

Many thanks

Hi Piekator

Sorry had another question... Once the new apportion opens will Atuturk Airport become just domestic or that remains open too for international flights?

Thank you
