What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Istanbul?

"We live in a middle-class Turkish neighborhood. It's mostly apartments in our area. There are very, very few expats in this part of town," remarked another expat who made the move to Istanbul, Turkey.

"Expat homes and apartments in Istanbul tend to be modern and comfortable, with many featuring large balconies and terraces that offer stunning views of the city. Many expats choose to live in the city center, where they can enjoy easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and other amenities. Expat apartments often come with modern appliances, air conditioning, and other amenities, making them a comfortable and convenient place to live," explained one expat living in Istanbul, Turkey.
