Oba

Oba

Oba lies immediately east of central Alanya and has effectively grown into it — a neighbourhood that is lived in twelve months of the year. Wide boulevards, a shopping centre, a private hospital, schools and the green pockets left over from the old orange groves have drawn both Turkish and foreign families here.

About Oba

A neighbourhood to the east of the centre, closely interwoven with the city and lived in all year round. It is one of the few places in Alanya that stays busy in winter as well: the schools are full, the shops are open, and the residential complexes are not empty.

Daily life

A shopping centre, a hospital, schools, a weekly market and a broad line-up of cafés and restaurants all lie within the neighbourhood boundaries. The seafront strip is laid out for walking and cycling; from most complexes it is possible to walk to the sea.

Getting around

Approximately 3 km to the centre, 10 minutes by dolmuş. Gazipaşa Airport is approximately 40 km away, Antalya Airport approximately 125 km.

Housing stock

Complexes with swimming pools, security and social facilities predominate. Every type of apartment can be found here, from 1+1 units to spacious duplexes and penthouses. Projects close to the shore make up the upper end of the price range, while those further inland form the entry level.

The investment side

Year-round demand is Oba's greatest strength. Alongside short-term holiday letting, it is also easy to find long-term tenants; this shortens the time an apartment stands empty.

Notes on the district

Its clearest advantage is distance: the sea and the centre are a walk or a few minutes' drive away. New residences stand alongside older apartment buildings with gardens, which means a wide range of prices. For anyone building a permanent life rather than a holiday routine, Oba has some of the most settled infrastructure in Alanya.

Frequently asked about Oba

2+1 apartments appeal to the widest range of buyers: they suit both families and tenants. 1+1 apartments are preferred by investors, while spacious duplexes are chosen by families living here all year round.

The number of pools, security, a generator, a gym and landscape upkeep determine the fee. In complexes with extensive social facilities the fee is high; in return, you also spend more time within the complex.

In a sale where the documents are ready, the transfer of the title deed is usually completed within a few weeks. The main factors determining the duration are the valuation report, any existing mortgage and the seller's preparation of the documents.
