The Küçükçekmece Centre zoning plan covers six neighbourhoods: Cennet, Cumhuriyet, Fevzi Çakmak, Kanarya, Sultanmurat and Yenimahalle.
Listing copy treats all six as one thing — "in the renewal area". They are not. Price, rent and density data show them standing in very different places.
Six neighbourhoods, one table
July 2026 data:
| Neighbourhood | Sale /m² | Rent /m² | Gross yield | Population | Density |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cennet | ₺68,300 | ₺403 | 7.1% | 29,995 | ~33,000 |
| Fevzi Çakmak | ₺60,700 | ₺441 | 8.7% | 25,229 | ~35,000 |
| Cumhuriyet | ₺56,200 | ₺368 | 7.9% | 51,065 | ~38,400 |
| Sultanmurat | ₺48,100 | ₺402 | 10.0% | 13,776 | ~53,000 |
| Kanarya | ₺43,200 | ₺310 | 8.6% | 67,272 | ~47,400 |
| Yenimahalle | no data | ₺415 | — | 19,408 | — |
| District average | ₺59,109 | ₺449 | 9.1% | — | — |
There is a 58% gap between the dearest (Cennet) and the cheapest (Kanarya). Inside the same plan.
What the gap tells you
The plan scope is identical across all six. So what creates the price difference is not the plan but everything outside it.
Cennet (₺68,300, yield 7.1%). The dearest of the six and the lowest-yielding, thanks to a metrobüs stop carrying its own name. That the yield sits well below the district average says something specific: part of Cennet's price is buying the renewal expectation rather than today's rent. Coherent if you are buying an expectation; not if you want yield.
Fevzi Çakmak (₺60,700, yield 8.7%). One of two neighbourhoods inside both the Centre plan and the Sefaköy quarter. Second-highest yield of the six and the rent closest to the district average — the best balance between expectation and present return.
Cumhuriyet (₺56,200, yield 7.9%). Cennet's cheaper version: same plan, no walking distance to the metrobüs. Most of the price gap (₺68,300 against ₺56,200) is what that walk costs.
Sultanmurat (₺48,100, yield 10.0%). The highest yield of the six and second in the district. But also the densest of them at ~53,000 people/km². The high yield here is a risk premium.
Kanarya (₺43,200, yield 8.6%). The lowest entry price and the second largest population (67,272). Demand is deep; but part of the low price comes from the age of the stock, which is easily confused with a renewal expectation.
Yenimahalle (no sale data, rent ₺415). Thin sale-listing volume, but rent per square metre ranks second among the six — a concrete signal that tenant demand here is stronger than expected.
The distinction that matters: expectation or yield?
You can read the whole table through one question: is the gross yield above or below the district average of 9.1%?
Those below — Cennet (7.1%), Cumhuriyet (7.9%), Kanarya (8.6%), Fevzi Çakmak (8.7%) — are selling part of their price as expectation.
The one above, Sultanmurat (10.0%), is selling today's yield; the renewal expectation does not appear to be priced in yet.
That distinction decides which neighbourhood you should be looking at:
- Long-horizon buyer who can wait for renewal → Cennet, Cumhuriyet
- Investor wanting rent, treating renewal as a bonus → Sultanmurat
- The balanced choice → Fevzi Çakmak
- Low budget, wanting depth of demand → Kanarya
What "inside the scope" does and does not mean
One truth applies to all six and bears repeating:
What it does not mean. Not that every building will be demolished and rebuilt. Not that anything happens on a stated date.
What it does mean. That a coherent framework — floor area ratios, storey limits, road and amenity decisions — has been defined for the plots here.
What a plot actually faces is read from three documents: the block-and-parcel record, the building permit date, and any risk assessment report.
Without those three, "in the renewal area" in a listing is a hope, not information.
Where to start
If you are considering buying in one of these six, the order is:
- Decide your priority. Expectation or yield? Do not try to take both from the table; none of the six gives both.
- Search the plot. A neighbourhood average is not enough to decide on.
- Budget the time. If you are buying on a renewal expectation, put into the budget that you will pay rent and earn none throughout.
- Have any contract read. The terms of a build-for-share agreement matter as much as the purchase price.
