About Ankara
A practical capital for diplomatic life
Ankara is Turkey’s administrative heart: organized, secure, well connected, and built around the rhythm of embassies, ministries, international schools, and professional families.
District guide
Where international residents usually start
İncek, Bilkent & Oran
Preferred for villas, larger residences, controlled sites, gardens, and family-focused living.
Kavaklıdere & Tunalı
A more urban choice with cafes, offices, cultural venues, and short access to central meetings.
Çayyolu & Ümitköy
Residential comfort with shopping, schools, parks, and practical routes toward western Ankara.
Daily life
What to plan before choosing a home
School, embassy, office, airport access, and winter routes should shape the shortlist before finishes or furniture.
Ankara has dry summers and cold winters, so heating quality, insulation, parking, and building management matter.
Inventory, dues, utilities, maintenance responsibility, pet rules, and renewal expectations should be documented early.
