Sultanmurat is one of two neighbourhoods in Küçükçekmece that appear on both lists (the other is Fevzi Çakmak): one of the ten making up the Sefaköy quarter, and inside the Küçükçekmece Centre zoning plan.
It is also the district's second densest. Those three facts together explain how price and yield behave here.
The numbers
| Sultanmurat | District average | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale per m² | ~₺48,100 | ₺59,109 |
| Rent per m² | ~₺402 | ₺449 |
| Year-on-year | 24.4% | — |
| Gross yield | ~10.0% | ~9.1% |
| Population | 13,776 | — |
| Area | 0.26 km² | — |
| Density | ~53,000 /km² | — |
Two things stand out.
The yield is high. The sale price sits 19% below the district average while rents are only 10% below. Rent has not fallen as far as price — which is what lifts the gross yield to 10%.
The annual rise is measured. At 24.4% it is among the district's lowest. That is neither good nor bad, it is information: there has been no large catch-up move here over the past year. The "bought at the peak" risk that comes with buying after Kartaltepe (+53%) or İnönü (+59.5%) is lower here.
0.26 km²: among the district's smallest
Sultanmurat's population of 13,776 is below the district average. But its area is just 0.26 km² — small enough to be among the district's tightest. The result is roughly 53,000 people/km², second only to Yeşilova.
In daily life that means:
- Buildings sit close together. Floor and aspect matter far more than usual for light and outlook.
- Parking is solved on the street. Few buildings have covered parking.
- Everything is walkable. That is density's compensation: the grocer, the bakery, the school and the pharmacy are minutes away.
If you are viewing here, the floor-and-aspect question has to be answered on site rather than from the listing. Two flats in the same block can differ substantially.
Where the two scopes overlap
What does it change in practice that Sultanmurat sits inside both the Sefaköy quarter and the Centre zoning plan?
The Sefaköy quarter is a market habit, not an administrative unit. A flat advertised as "Sefaköy" may be in Sultanmurat; the deed and the address record say "Sultanmurat Mahallesi". Search under both names.
The Centre zoning plan is a real framework, covering Cennet, Cumhuriyet, Fevzi Çakmak, Kanarya, Sultanmurat and Yenimahalle. Being inside it does not mean every building will be redeveloped; what applies to a plot is read from the block-and-parcel record, the permit date and any risk assessment.
In a dense neighbourhood, renewal has one extra dimension: floor area ratio and storey decisions directly determine how a build-for-share split works out on a narrow plot. The number of flats a developer can offer depends on what the plan allows on that plot. We establish that before any contract.
Transport
Sultanmurat has no metrobüs stop of its own; the quarter's main connection is the Sefaköy stop, with Cennet Mahallesi on the E-5 to the west. The M9 does not run through the neighbourhood — you reach it by changing from the metrobüs at Yenibosna.
Read "close to the metro" carefully in listings here.
Who is this neighbourhood right for?
Yield-focused investors. One of the district's three highest gross ratios, and at a point where catch-up risk looks low.
People who live on foot. Everything within minutes. If you do not drive, the density is an advantage rather than a constraint.
Families with a car. Parking is a genuine problem. On the same budget, let us also look at Tevfikbey or Söğütlüçeşme.
Buyers expecting plenty of choice. A small neighbourhood means a thin market. Describe what you are looking for and we will tell you when it appears.
