Büyükçekmece, Istanbul
Lake and Marmara coast living at the western edge of the city.
Büyükçekmece sits at the far western end of the European side. The lake and the Marmara shoreline set the character, and it runs lower and more resort-like than the inner city.
Buyers come here for space, water and value. Stock runs from low-rise compounds and villas up to a growing number of larger master-planned projects.
