Levent
Lead photoDetailDetailCorporate, practical, vertical. Less charm, more infrastructure.
Levent is not romantic Istanbul, and that's exactly the point. It's the business corridor: towers, malls, gyms, metro stops, and coworking spaces. Choose it if your Istanbul life is work-heavy, you want reliable infrastructure, or you need fast access to meetings around Maslak, Sisli, and the airport-side business spine.
