How well connected is the Golden Horn?

The area is served by metro, tram, ferry, bus and major road connections, providing convenient access to Beyoğlu, Şişli, Fatih, Levent and the historic peninsula. The M7 and M11 metro have several stations in the region and the new tramway line stretches across the golden horn from Alibeyköy all the way to the historic old city at Eminönü, sotpping at historical areas like balat along the way.

Are there new-build properties around the Golden Horn?

Yes. New residential and mixed-use developments are available in Kağıthane, Sütlüce, Eyüp, Alibeyköy and other regeneration areas, although development styles and prices vary by location.

What is the difference between Golden Horn and Bosphorus property?

Golden Horn property is generally more affordable and regeneration-focused, while Bosphorus property commands higher prices because of its prestige, direct water views and more limited supply. The Bosphorus has always been a region of extreme wealth whereas the golden horn was the reverse for a long time until fairly recently.
