Apartments for sale in Ankara — Turkish citizenship
Looking for apartments for sale in Ankara with turkish citizenship? Ankara is Turkey's political capital and offers the country's most stable long-term rental market — ideal for buy-and-hold investors. Çankaya is the premium core, Ümitköy and Beysukent lead family-oriented new-build, Kızılay drives student-rental demand, and Etimesgut delivers entry-level value.
Turkish apartments are typically listed as 1+1 (50–65 m²), 2+1 (80–110 m²) or 3+1 (120–160 m²) — the number before the plus is bedrooms, the +1 is the living room. In Ankara, apartments typically trade between USD 90,000–USD 320,000, with gross rental yields in the 6–8% range. Buying property worth USD 400,000+ qualifies the whole family for Turkish citizenship in 4–6 months — visa-free travel to 110+ countries.
Ankara suits pure yield investors and diplomatic-corps landlords; foreign owner-occupiers are rarer than in coastal cities. Apartments dominate the buy-to-let and citizenship investment tracks — lower entry price, faster resale and easier property management. Before viewing, our advisors handle the two essentials for this combo: Only purchases from a Turkish seller (not another foreigner) qualify, and the property must be held for three years — verify the CBRT valuation report meets the USD 400k floor.
