Apartments for sale in Bursa — Turkish citizenship
Looking for apartments for sale in Bursa with turkish citizenship? Bursa is Turkey's fourth-largest city, an emerging value market thanks to the Istanbul–Izmir motorway and consistent double-digit annual appreciation. Nilüfer leads modern gated-community supply, Mudanya offers Sea of Marmara views, Osmangazi covers the historic core, and Yıldırım delivers the best price per m².
Turkish apartments are typically listed as 1+1 (50–65 m²), 2+1 (80–110 m²) or 3+1 (120–160 m²) — the number before the plus is bedrooms, the +1 is the living room. In Bursa, apartments typically trade between USD 90,000–USD 300,000, with gross rental yields in the 5–7% range. Buying property worth USD 400,000+ qualifies the whole family for Turkish citizenship in 4–6 months — visa-free travel to 110+ countries.
Bursa attracts value-seeking Turkish upgraders plus a growing wave of Middle Eastern buyers wanting cooler, greener alternatives to Istanbul. Apartments dominate the buy-to-let and citizenship investment tracks — lower entry price, faster resale and easier property management. Before viewing, our advisors handle the two essentials for this combo: Only purchases from a Turkish seller (not another foreigner) qualify, and the property must be held for three years — verify the CBRT valuation report meets the USD 400k floor.
