Akat (Akatlar) is one of the districts of Besiktas positioned between Etiler and Levent, standing out for its low-density, established fabric. Within walking distance of Akmerkez, Nisbetiye Street and Etiler Bazaar, it offers easy access to every need of daily life.
Its proximity to the Levent finance axis, the Buyukdere Street business centres and the Zincirlikuyu transport connections makes Akat especially attractive to senior executives, international company employees and professionals on project-based assignment in Istanbul. The area's calm neighbourhood fabric and sense of security also make it a choice for families.
New-generation residence projects, boutique complexes and modern apartment blocks have turned Akat into a strong supply centre in the furnished rental market. Move-in ready, high-standard apartments are among the first choices of corporate and international tenants wishing to settle quickly.
In Akat, furnished letting is not merely a move-in ready housing solution; it is a time-saving lifestyle choice that balances Etiler's social quality of life with Levent's working pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which property types are let furnished in Akat?
Predominantly new-build apartments and residence units. The area's boutique complexes and modern blocks are also well suited to the furnished model.
Should one choose Akat or Etiler?
Both sit on the same living axis. Akat offers a calmer, more established fabric; Etiler a denser social life. We determine the right positioning together, according to the tenant profile and the property's specification.
How is the rent for a furnished apartment in Akat determined?
We price against comparable furnished stock in Akat, the building's specification (security, parking, technical infrastructure, management), the furnishing standard and the target tenant profile. A property's performance is measured not by occupancy alone but by the net income it produces and the asset value it preserves.
How does the furnished letting process work in Akat?
We manage every stage end to end: preparing the property, pricing, the furnishing standard and interior layout, marketing, tenant selection, the contract process and post-letting support. Owners can focus on investment performance without losing time to operational processes.
How much more can furnished letting earn compared with unfurnished in Akat?
It depends on the property, the furnishing standard and the tenant profile, so no fixed figure applies. In one of our Besiktas cases, converting a Bosphorus-view residence apartment from unfurnished to furnished raised the income level by approximately 40% and the rent was received a year in advance.
How long does it take to let a furnished property in Akat?
The period varies with pricing, furnishing standard and target tenant profile. In one of our cases a Bosphorus-view residence apartment was let within 17 days; in another, three apartments across two residence projects were all let within a month.
What furnishing standard is required in Akat?
Success in furnished letting consists of far more than placing furniture. The right furnishing standard, the right interior design, the right pricing strategy and marketing aligned with the target tenant profile directly affect rental performance. We define the standard according to the tenant profile the property targets.
How do you select tenants in Akat?
The highest bidder is not always the right tenant. Corporate employees, senior executives, international professionals and tenants with a long-term plan are preferred for their regular payment habits, predictable use and low operational risk — which protects the property's value and shortens future vacancy.
Do you have off-market opportunities in Akat?
Yes. The most valuable opportunities are not always visible on the open market. Thanks to strong local relationships in Akat we access select furnished rental opportunities that never appear on public platforms, giving owners a more controlled marketing process.
