Molla Yusuf, Konyaaltı Property Guide

Molla Yusuf at a glance

Molla Yusuf is a neighbourhood (mahalle) in north-western Konyaaltı, inland from the coast. Siteler lies to the east and Uncalı to the south, and to the west the land rises towards the Beydağları foothills. The name is sometimes written as one word, "Mollayusuf". Homes here are interspersed with gardens and orchards, giving the area a greener, less dense feel than the coastal parts of the district.

Location and transport

The Antalya western ring road (Batı Çevre Yolu) runs through the neighbourhood, linking it to the main roads in the north of the city and to other districts without going via the coast. Uncalı Caddesi and Emniyet Caddesi are among the roads connecting it to central Konyaaltı. From the centre of Molla Yusuf, Antalya Airport is roughly 23 km by road, Kaleiçi (the old town) roughly 10 km and Konyaaltı Beach roughly 5 km. Public transport is by municipal bus; the light rail does not reach the neighbourhood, so a car makes daily life much easier.

Everyday life

Molla Yusuf has a mosque, a school and neighbourhood parks. Larger supermarkets and shops are mainly along the main roads towards Uncalı and Siteler. If you live near the ring road, traffic noise is worth weighing up when choosing a home. The neighbourhood is not on the coast, but Konyaaltı Beach is a short drive away.

Housing stock

Molla Yusuf has a more varied housing stock than the coastal neighbourhoods. Alongside apartment blocks and gated complexes, detached houses, villas and homes with gardens appear frequently in listings. There are also newer projects, so checking the occupancy permit, the type of title and the zoning status is especially important here. Because there is garden and agricultural land in the area, always check how the property is classified on the title deed (building plot, field, orchard).

Who it suits

• Families looking for a larger home with a garden or a villa
• People who want a quieter setting away from the busy coast
• Car owners who regularly travel to other parts of the city via the ring road

What to check before buying

• Title classification and zoning: for detached houses and villas, check the classification on the title deed (tapu), the zoning status of the plot and whether the building has a permit.
• Occupancy permit and title: in new projects, check whether the occupancy permit (iskân) has been issued and whether the title is full condominium ownership (kat mülkiyeti) or the interim construction-stage title (kat irtifakı).
• Earthquake code: use the permit date to ask whether the building was designed to the 2007 or 2018 earthquake regulations.
• Infrastructure: for houses with gardens, check the natural gas, sewerage and road connections.
• Short-term letting: under Law No. 7464, renting to tourists requires a ministry permit and the unanimous consent of the building's flat owners.
