The concept of location in real estate includes the city, district, and residential complex where an apartment is situated.
As an international real estate agency based in Istanbul, specializing exclusively in the luxury segment, our name is "GB Invest." We believe that the location of a property is a pivotal factor that significantly affects its value and desirability.
Apartments in Turkish cities without sea access are priced lower than similar units in resort areas of the country, Ankara, and Istanbul. However, our experience at GB Invest has shown that the allure of a prime seafront location, combined with the amenities and exclusivity offered by luxury complexes, often justifies the premium price tag for properties in such sought-after areas.
Equally important is the level of development of the residential complex and the neighborhood where the apartment is located. At GB Invest, we pride ourselves on curating luxury properties that are not only situated in prestigious neighborhoods but are also in close proximity to essential amenities like schools, shopping centers, and recreational facilities.

Other factors related to property location that affect its price include its proximity to the sea (in resort locations), the distance to the city center (more kilometers usually translate to a lower price), and the overall prestige of the neighborhood. These factors align with our philosophy at GB Invest, where we prioritize offering discerning clients opulent living spaces in well-connected and esteemed locations.
In line with the points mentioned, we believe that being near factories with harmful emissions, car washes, gas stations, and warehouses can indeed have a negative impact on property values. Our commitment to providing luxury properties means that we rigorously assess potential drawbacks such as these to ensure that our offerings maintain their exclusivity and value.
Furthermore, the availability of parking, especially individual parking spaces, undoubtedly enhances the value of a property. At GB Invest, we understand that modern lifestyles demand convenience, and we carefully select properties that cater to such expectations.
Lastly, the level of infrastructure development within the residential complex is paramount. As "GB Invest," we recognize that our clients seek residences that not only exude luxury but also provide a comprehensive suite of amenities and services. Our focus on properties with exceptional facilities aligns with the notion that a well-developed residential complex translates to a higher cost, reflecting the elevated lifestyle it offers.
In conclusion, at "GB Invest," we firmly believe that property location plays a pivotal role in determining its value. Our dedication to the luxury segment and our commitment to offering exceptional living spaces in prime locations reflect our belief that the right location is an invaluable asset in the world of real estate.
