| Bebek Luxury district, so it would be difficult to find a place here, but not impossible. | |
| ArnavutköyA neighborhood full of charming, old wooden homes. A half hour walk from Boğaziçi University. | |
| OrtaköyLively waterside social area with quiet backstreets of small apartment buildings. Not within walking distance, but only a bus ride to the bottom of the Boğaziçi hill. | |
| BeşiktaşNot within walking distance, but has direct buses to Boğaziçi, and vibrant student culture. | |
