Is Icerenkoy a good neighborhood in Istanbul?

Question

I'm moving to Istanbul and will work around bagdat Avenue. I found an apartmen which seems nice and the price is affordable. Is this a good neighborhood? Is it close to Suadiye?

Answer 1

first, i reside nearby koşuyolu, and içerenköy is about 20 mins far by car.

içerenköy is a good neighborhood- as like most neighborhood in asian side. and it's good that your job is near to place you reside. if it's ok for your budget, dont miss this chance.

Answer 2

My parents live in İçerenköy. It is a family place, but not as rich as Bağdat Avenue. I like Koşuyolu, but it has many businesses, too, and the traffic is more crowded accordingly.

Still, I would suggest Koşuyolu, because it is closer to social activities. But if you cannot find a place there and have to live in İçerenköy, that's OK, too.

Both are close to Suadiye (close in Istanbul terms, that is), but the road from Koşuyolu to Suadiye is more straightforward. You will know what I mean when you arrive. :)
