Üsküdar lies where the Sea of Marmara meets the Bosphorus, at the tip of the Kocaeli Peninsula, and borders Kadıköy, Beykoz and Ümraniye, according to the municipality. Ataşehir Municipality also names Üsküdar as one of its neighbours.
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We do not quote fixed travel times; they change with time of day and route.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.

The municipality describes Üsküdar as above all a place to live: even its former small farmlands have been built over, and it has never had industrial plants, though many firms have their head offices here. Its 33 neighbourhoods range from the Bosphorus shore, such as Kuzguncuk, Beylerbeyi and Çengelköy, to the Çamlıca hills and Altunizade with its metro and Metrobüs stations, so we compare the neighbourhood, not just the district name.
16th of the guide’s 31 districts on our uniform calculation, in the middle of the table. The average covers very different ground, from the Çamlıca hills, rising to 268 m, to the narrow Bosphorus shore.
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 Üsküdar at the moment.
Our current projects are in other districts of the guide. Tell us your budget and what you need in Üsküdar, and an advisor will reply with options and comparable alternatives nearby, with no obligation.
Marmaray stops at Üsküdar, and the M5 Üsküdar – Sultanbeyli metro has six stations in the district, from Üsküdar to Bulgurlu. The M4 stops at Ünalan, and the Metrobüs at Acıbadem, Altunizade, Burhaniye and 15 Temmuz Şehitler Köprüsü. The Altunizade – Çamlıca Camii – Bosna Bulvarı metro is still under construction.
The name spans the boundary. Haydarpaşa Numune and Dr. Siyami Ersek hospitals and Marmara University’s Haydarpaşa campus have Üsküdar addresses on Tıbbiye Caddesi, while Haydarpaşa Station and its harbour are in Kadıköy’s Rasimpaşa neighbourhood, according to Kadıköy Municipality. So we check the administrative district in every address.
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.
