Turkey's Rent Map Revealed: Prices by Province

Turkey's rental housing market continues to see high prices, with the median rent for apartment listings nationwide reaching 25,000 Turkish Lira in July 2026. This figure highlights a significant increase in housing costs across the country.

Istanbul stands out with the highest median rent, recorded at 45,000 TL. This is substantially higher than the national average, indicating a pronounced affordability challenge in the country's largest city. Other popular cities also reflect this trend, with Muğla at 35,000 TL, Ankara at 31,000 TL, and İzmir at 29,000 TL.

Antalya's median rent matched the national average at 25,000 TL. In contrast, some cities in Anatolia reported significantly lower median rents, falling within the 15,000-20,000 TL range. The data, compiled by real estate appraisal expert Ahmet Büyükduman, uses the median rent, which is the midpoint value when all rental prices are sorted, meaning half of the listings are below this price and half are above.

The July 2026 data clearly shows that rental costs in Istanbul, Muğla, and Ankara have diverged significantly from the national average, underscoring regional disparities in the housing market.
