The municipality gives 15.6 km², while the administrative boundary in OpenStreetMap covers about 16.3 km². We calculate density for every district in the guide from the OpenStreetMap boundaries so the figures stay comparable.
The Golden Horn lies to the north-east and the Sea of Marmara to the south; Eyüpsultan borders it to the north and Zeytinburnu to the west, according to the municipality.
Districts on which the municipality’s plan and the OpenStreetMap administrative boundaries agree.
Link Property measurement in a straight line from the nearest and farthest points of the district boundary (OpenStreetMap). Road distance is longer, and travel time changes with traffic.
We do not quote fixed travel times; they change with time of day and route. We show you how far each project is from the nearest station and test the journey with you on the tour.
A selection we verified as located inside the district; not a complete list.
Fatih is the historic peninsula inside the land walls, and the municipality notes surviving wooden houses alongside its monuments. Its plan lists an old building stock, low demand for urban renewal and the rules of a protected conservation (sit) area among the district’s conditions, so we check each building’s age, permits and conservation status.
The 11th-densest of the guide’s 31 districts on our uniform calculation. The resident figure understates daily crowds: the municipality’s plan notes a large gap between the daytime and night-time population of this historic and commercial centre.
Density is an average for the whole district: population divided by area. It does not measure traffic directly, but it gives a sense of daily life: higher density usually means shops and services closer by and busier streets, lower density means more space and quiet, sometimes with more reliance on a car.
There is no official traffic-congestion indicator at district level, so we do not show a figure for it. We suggest trying your usual route at rush hour during the tour.
We do not have standardised, reliable price data for the district as a whole, so we show no average price, rent or yield, and no price-growth forecasts.
We do not list a project in Fatih at the moment.
Our current projects are in other districts of the guide. Tell us your budget and what you need in Fatih, and an advisor will reply with options and comparable alternatives nearby, with no obligation.
No. Eminönü Municipality was abolished and merged into Fatih under Law 5747, effective 29 March 2009, according to the municipality. Eminönü is now part of Fatih, which has 57 neighbourhoods (mahalle).
Marmaray (Yenikapı and Sirkeci), the M1A and M1B metro (Yenikapı to Topkapı-Ulubatlı), the M2 metro (Yenikapı and Vezneciler-İstanbul Ü.), the T1 tram from Eminönü to Pazartekke and the T5 tram, with stations including Cibali, Fener and Balat. We show you how far each project is from the nearest station during the consultation.
Eligibility does not depend on the district’s name. It depends on the property’s conditions, value and valuation, and on the rules in force at the time of application, which can change. We explain the current requirements for each property and recommend confirming them with the official authorities or a qualified legal adviser before any decision.
No. Data at district level is not standardised and is mostly asking prices in listings rather than actual sale prices. We show our project prices with the date of each list, and your advisor provides an up-to-date comparison on request.
We do not judge any building’s safety by the district’s name or location. Structural safety belongs to the building itself: its permit year, compliance with the building regulations in force, and its technical documents and reports. We help you request these documents and review them with specialists before buying.
We answer your questions about the district and suggest units that fit your goal and budget, with no obligation.
No district by that name in the guide.
