Apartments for sale in Izmir — Sea view
Looking for apartments for sale in Izmir with sea view? Izmir is Turkey's third city and the Aegean's economic hub — Bornova and Karşıyaka lead new-build supply for both residents and investors. Bornova and Karşıyaka lead new-build, Alsancak is the walkable urban core, Çeşme delivers the coastal luxury tier, and Urla attracts wine-country buyers.
Turkish apartments are typically listed as 1+1 (50–65 m²), 2+1 (80–110 m²) or 3+1 (120–160 m²) — the number before the plus is bedrooms, the +1 is the living room. In Izmir, apartments typically trade between USD 100,000–USD 380,000, with gross rental yields in the 5–7% range. Sea-view stock trades at a 15–25% premium and rents faster than inland equivalents — worth the premium for holiday and short-let buyers.
Izmir attracts Turkish upgraders, European lifestyle buyers, and increasing numbers of Israeli and Ukrainian relocators. Apartments dominate the buy-to-let and citizenship investment tracks — lower entry price, faster resale and easier property management. Before viewing, our advisors handle the two essentials for this combo: Verify unobstructed view rights in the title deed and check the municipal zoning plan for any future construction that could block the view.
