Bahçelievler, Muratpaşa Property Guide

Overview

Bahçelievler is one of the coastal neighbourhoods (mahalle) of western Muratpaşa, stretching along Konyaaltı Caddesi. It borders Meltem to the west, Varlık and Altındağ to the north and Deniz to the east. Antalya Museum (the archaeological museum), at Konyaaltı Caddesi No. 88, is within the neighbourhood. Its southern edge drops to the sea along high cliffs (falez).

Location and transport

Bahçelievler stands out for being close to both the centre and Konyaaltı's seafront. Approximate driving distances from the neighbourhood centre:

• Konyaaltı Beach (eastern end): about 1 km,
• Kaleiçi (old town): about 2.5 km,
• Antalya Airport: about 15 km.

Müze, the terminus of tram line T3, is inside the neighbourhood; from here T3 runs via the Training and Research Hospital, Meltem, Akdeniz University Hospital and the bus station (Otogar) to Varsak. The Barbaros and Meslek Lisesi stops on Konyaaltı Caddesi belong to the heritage tram T2, which has been temporarily suspended since 17 July 2026, with a replacement bus on the route.

Daily life

The neighbourhood combines walks and seaside life with closeness to the centre. On the sea side of Konyaaltı Caddesi there are park areas along the cliffs. Supermarkets, pharmacies and everyday shops are common. Antalya Training and Research Hospital in neighbouring Varlık is a short distance away, and Atatürk Culture Park lies on the Meltem side.

Housing stock

Bahçelievler is mainly apartment blocks from different decades. Buildings on the sea side of Konyaaltı Caddesi include sea-view flats; the inner streets are dominated by mid-rise blocks. Newer buildings appear on redeveloped plots. Large complexes with pools are few.

Who it suits

• Those who want a central life within walking distance of Konyaaltı's seafront,
• Working people and students who want to reach the hospitals, centre and university by tram,
• Investors targeting long-term tenants.

Check before you buy

• Building age and permit: Turkey's earthquake codes were updated in 2007 and 2018. For older buildings, get an independent structural assessment and ask whether a risky-building (riskli yapı) determination exists under Law 6306.
• Occupancy permit and title type: flats with full condominium title (kat mülkiyeti) and an occupancy permit (iskân) carry less uncertainty than construction-stage title (kat irtifakı) or shared-title (hisseli) properties.
• View and frontage: sea views are often highlighted in listings; check on site whether the view could be blocked and how much street noise there is.
• Parking and service charges: parking can be limited on the sea side; ask about covered parking and what the monthly charge (aidat) covers.
• Short-term letting: under Law 7464, rentals shorter than 100 days require a permit and, in apartment buildings, the consent of the other owners.
