Hurma, Konyaaltı: Neighborhood Guide for Buyers

Hurma is one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in Konyaaltı, Antalya. Set just behind the coastal strip, north of Liman, Hurma has become a regular on the shortlists of people looking for a home in Konyaaltı thanks to its gated complexes with pools, its newer buildings and its family-oriented streets. In this guide I look at Hurma in detail: daily life, housing stock, transport and the checks worth making before you buy or sell.

If you would like a broader comparison of Konyaaltı's neighborhoods first, see my Konyaaltı Neighborhoods Guide. This page focuses on Hurma alone.

Where Is Hurma and What Is It Like?

Hurma lies on the western side of Konyaaltı, inland from the sea. It does not have its own seafront; the beach is reached through Liman, the neighborhood to the south. The Boğaçayı stream runs through Hurma, and Boğaçay Caddesi is one of its best-known streets.

Population figures tell Hurma's story well. According to Turkey's official address-based population records (TÜİK), the neighborhood had 4,180 residents in 2007 and 28,545 in 2025 – roughly a sevenfold increase. Most of that growth came with new residential projects, which is why Hurma is today one of the more recently built parts of Konyaaltı.

That growth shapes its character: large complex plots, newly opened streets, neighborhood parks and supermarket chains are part of everyday life. It is calmer than the busy areas right by the sea, without feeling cut off from the rest of the district.

Who Is Hurma a Good Fit For?

• Families with children: playgrounds inside complexes, neighborhood parks and quieter streets make Hurma attractive to families.
• First-time buyers: the large stock of newer buildings makes it easier to find options in different sizes and budgets.
• Retirees: worth considering if you want to be reasonably close to the beach but a little away from the summer crowds.
• Long-term investors: housing demand continues and the tenant profile is varied, though the return always depends on the purchase price and the specific flat.
• Foreign buyers: for buyers from abroad looking for a complex with a pool and security, Hurma's newer projects are among the options worth considering.

Housing in Hurma: Complexes, New Builds and Older Buildings

Most of Hurma's housing stock consists of apartment buildings and gated complexes ("site" in Turkish) built in recent years. Complexes typically include a shared pool, parking, security, landscaping and a children's play area. In the older parts of the neighborhood you will also find low-rise apartment blocks and a limited number of detached houses and villas.

This mix means prices vary widely within the same neighborhood. A garden flat in a new complex and a flat in an older block facing a main road cannot be compared just because they share a neighborhood name. For a detailed look at what drives prices, see my Konyaaltı Home Prices Guide.

Daily Life in Hurma

Parks and open spaces

Hurma has a large number of parks for a single neighborhood. When Konyaaltı Municipality opened two new parks here in 2014, it said the total would rise to 13, and more have been added since. Hurma Parkı and Naim Süleymanoğlu Parkı are two of the well-known green spaces, and the banks of the Boğaçayı are popular for walks.

Shopping and everyday needs

There are several branches of national supermarket chains, pharmacies and local shops. Most daily needs can be met within the neighborhood; for larger shopping trips, other parts of the district are a short drive away.

Beach access

Because Hurma is not on the coast, the distance to the beach depends heavily on where the flat is. Streets close to the Liman boundary are nearer the sea; from the northern parts you will usually drive or take public transport. Rather than trusting the phrase "close to the sea" in a listing, check the actual distance on a map.

Schools and healthcare

There are state schools and private educational institutions in and around the neighborhood. School places depend on your registered address, so families should check this address by address. Before moving, I recommend confirming your child's school and your nearest family health centre (aile sağlığı merkezi) based on the exact address.

Getting Around from Hurma

Hurma has access to the Antalya Western Ring Road (Batı Çevre Yolu) and to the Kumluca–Kemer road heading towards Kemer, so driving to the city centre or towards Kemer is straightforward. Within the neighborhood, Boğaçay Caddesi works as the main collector road.

Several public bus lines serve Hurma. There is currently no tram line running inside Konyaaltı; Antalya Metropolitan Municipality's rail plans include a new phase connecting Konyaaltı with Varsak, so it is worth following route and stop details as they are finalised. You will find an overview of local options in my Transportation in Konyaaltı guide.

What to Check Before Buying in Hurma

• Distance to main roads and the ring road: flats facing the Western Ring Road or busy streets can be noisy. Visit at different times of day to see the real situation.
• Building permit date and earthquake code: buildings permitted after the Turkish Building Earthquake Code came into force on 1 January 2019 were designed to the new rules. For older buildings, ask about the permit date, the occupancy permit (iskân) and any strengthening documents.
• Complex fees and management: pools, security and landscaping increase the monthly service charge (aidat). Ask for recent fee amounts, the management plan and whether there are any outstanding debts.
• Rainwater and infrastructure: as of 2026, ASAT, the metropolitan water and sewerage authority, is building stormwater lines to reduce flooding and standing water in several neighborhoods including Hurma. Ask neighbours and the complex management whether the street has had water build-up during heavy rain.
• Empty plots nearby: construction is ongoing, so an open view today may be blocked later. Checking the zoning status of neighbouring plots with the municipality is a sensible step.
• Title deed type: check whether the title deed (tapu) is full condominium ownership (kat mülkiyeti) or construction servitude (kat irtifakı); this matters in newer projects.

Foreign buyers can purchase property in Turkey with a title deed in their own name, subject to the general legal conditions; residence permit questions should be checked against the current rules at the time of purchase.

Selling Your Home in Hurma

The biggest challenge for owners selling in Hurma is that many similar listings are on the market at the same time. For a resale flat to stand out against new projects, it needs the right price range, good photos and a clear presentation of its strengths – complex facilities, floor, orientation, parking and the real distance to the beach.

If you would like to know where your flat stands in the current market before listing it, you can request a free property valuation. I compare similar listings and the micro-location to give you a realistic price range.
