Apart from this classification, Turkish properties can be categorized as residential, commercial, and land.
Residential properties
Residential properties in Turkey feature various types of houses that are commonly sold in the market. Many residential properties are developed in complexes and large urban developments. Many residential properties in Turkey are part of a multistory apartment building. Furthermore, you can classify residential properties under various categories:
Old Apartments
An old apartment is used to describe a building that is more than 20 years old. This is a low-budget property that is easily affordable by anybody.
Studio apartments
These are usually smaller residential apartments of about 60 square metres or less. This type of property features a single bedroom that connects to a living room, bathroom, and kitchen. It is great for single users such as single workers and bachelors.
Duplexes
A duplex is a 2-floor residential building that comes with an internal staircase. A duplex can be anything between a 2-bedroom apartment (2+1) and a 6-bedroom apartment (6+1). It can also come with more bedrooms. This type of property is most preferred by large families. It is also less costly than standalone private villas.
Penthouses
Penthouse apartments are also common in Turkey. These types of residential properties can be found on the upper floor of many multistory buildings or skyscrapers. They usually occupy the whole surface area of the building. Penthouses usually come with an outdoor terrace area. They are also known to be expensive and luxurious apartment styles. Many penthouses come with private swimming pools, heated infinity pools, and so on.
Townhouses
A Townhouse is usually described as a small villa that is built adjacent to another building on the same property. It usually features a unifying architectural space layout. A small garden is usually used to connect the detached villa from the inside.
Twin houses
These are two villas that are partially connected. The villas are built with a similar design to give both villas are identical look. However, each villa is separate as they both have distinct entrances and are shared by two different families.
Villas
A private villa is a fully separate mansion. A villa can be a two-, three-, or four-storey building. Many villas come with private gardens and may have private swimming pools. They are also surrounded by perimeter fences. You can find private villas in various prestigious neighbourhoods in Turkey. Villas are also part of many mega residential developments. Villas are very expensive in Turkey, and so are in relatively low demand.

Residential lands: This type of land is reserved for building houses.
Agricultural lands: This type of land is used for agriculture.
Public lands: This type of land is usually the property of the public.
