Accommodation in Istanbul
Most expats looking for accommodation in Istanbul tend to choose to live in the areas on the European side of the city, although there are plenty of housing options on the Asian side as well.
Most expats tend to live in ‘Sites’ . The ‘Site’ (pronounced seet-ay), or housing estate, is a very common concept in Istanbul. Expats can find sites containing housing options to suit every budget and taste, ranging from large villas with private gardens and swimming pools to apartments with common pool/gym and garden.
Istanbul has been known to have power cuts from time to time so it is advised to check whether your house/complex has a generator in addition to the normal electrical connections.
