The pros and cons of living in Mahmutlar, the location and specifics of living, the cost of real estate - all the useful information in our review!

About Mahmutlar

Sometimes from our potential buyers, we hear the question: "Mahmutlar in Turkey - where is it?"

Mahmutlar is located on the Mediterranean coast. On the western side it borders on Kestel, on the east - on Kargicak, on the north it is surrounded by the Taurus mountain range. The distance to the historical center of Alanya is only 11 kilometers.

The area is very correctly and simply planned, making it extremely difficult to get lost in it. Three parallel streets run along the coast: the embankment (considered the first coastline), the main street of the village - Barbarossa Street, where all urban infrastructure facilities are concentrated, and Ataturk Street. More and more small streets cross the three main ones and lead to the beaches.

Interesting information:

Only in 2014, Mahmutlar was given the status of an administrative district of Alanya. From that moment, active development of the territory started in the village, and today it is considered one of the most densely populated urban areas.

Infrastructure of the Mahmutlar region

Mahmutlar is completely independent of the central part of Alanya, as far as infrastructure is concerned - it has everything you need for recreation and permanent residence:

  • Shops and supermarket chains (BIM, Migros, A101 and others).
  • Shopping centers.
  • Furniture centers and clothing stores.
  • Outdoor farmers markets in Mahmutlar (held on Tuesdays and Saturdays).
  • Post office or PTT.
  • Branches and ATMs of leading Turkish banks.
  • Landscaped embankment, squares, parks, fountains, amusement park, banana plantations and orchards.
  • Schools and a Russian kindergarten.
  • Pharmacy, hospital, medical centers.
  • Car rental.
  • Beauty salons and fitness clubs.
  • Cultural center for Russian-speaking citizens and much more.

For those who are interested in how to get from Mahmutlar to Alanya, we clarify that the village has excellent transport links not only with the city center, but also with other areas. Every 10–15 minutes, dolmushi (route taxis) and buses run, the city municipality constantly monitors the quality of service and constantly increases the number of public transport stops.

The infrastructure of Mahmutlar Alanya is represented by the entertainment industry. Even without leaving it, you can find something to do not only in summer, but also in any other season of the year: cozy coffee houses, restaurants with a menu of traditional and European cuisine, nightclubs, discos for residents and guests of the resort.

There is a forest three kilometers from the center of Mahmutlar. The array is protected by the state and is open to local citizens: there are areas for picnics and walks on its territory, there are barbecues, barbecues, tables, and all this is located against the backdrop of beautiful views of the city.

The list of historical sights includes the ruins of the ancient cities of Laertes, Naula, Siedra, where archaeological excavations are still being carried out. For more vivid impressions from viewing historical and cultural monuments, we recommend going to the center of Alanya.

The specifics of life in Mahmutlar

As we have already specified, life in Mahmutlar is very comfortable for Russians, since numerous Russian-speaking citizens live here permanently, and Russian speech is heard from all sides. Therefore, if you do not know Turkish and English, this village will suit you perfectly. In addition, many local residents, trying to please foreigners, are able to express themselves quite clearly in Russian.

Other benefits include:

  • Proximity to the sea. Mahmutlar stretches along the coast, so from almost anywhere you can quickly get to the beach. To get to the coast, residents do not need to cross the road - underground passages are equipped for safe movement.
  • Favorable climate - literally 300 sunny days a year.
  • Low prices for food, shoes, clothes. Ecologically clean, delicious vegetables and fruits are available to residents all year round.
  • A leisurely atmosphere and a high level of security.
  • Proximity to the airport location. Residents of Mahmutlar can get to the nearest Gazipasa International Airport in just half an hour.
  • Affordable housing costs.

Next, let's talk about the cons.

Mahmutlar, due to its high popularity, is somewhat overpopulated. There is a dense development of the territory with multi-storey buildings, which is compensated by the competent placement of residential complexes and a flexible pricing policy. The reason for the dense population is simple - demand creates supply. Mahmutlar real estate is really in demand among investors and is highly liquid.

The second feature is the beaches of Mahmutlar. The main coast is pebbly, there are also strips of sand. However, during the year all the sand is washed into the sea by a storm, and the next beach season has to be imported again. The headache of the district administration is natural stone slabs and large boulders that are found in some coastal areas. In order not to slip and not be injured, in these places you need to carefully enter the water using special shoes.

Drinking tap water in Mahmutlar, as in other areas of Alanya, is not recommended. Water is suitable for washing dishes and other household chores, but for drinking it is better to order bottled water delivery or install a filter. Water hardness is increased, so when boiling, a lot of scale is formed.

There is practically no central heating in houses in Alanya. Since winters here are warm and short, it is not advisable to equip centralized heating. But air conditioners work almost constantly - in summer for cooling, in winter - for heating, which affects the order of numbers in utility bills.

Perhaps, these are all the pros and cons of living in Mahmutlar, which you should know before making a decision to buy property in the resort region. As you can see, the benefits far outweigh the features.

Advantages of residential complexes in Mahmutlar

Multi-storey construction is allowed in Mahmutlar. Most modern residential complexes have nine or more floors. Those who bought an apartment in the Mahmutlar region note two main advantages: proximity to the sea and beautiful views from the windows, as well as the presence of a diverse internal infrastructure. For modern closed complexes, the norm is to have their own indoor and outdoor pools, a sufficient number of parking spaces, round-the-clock security and video surveillance, playgrounds, a barbecue area, a gym and hamams.

The advantages of residential complexes in Mahmutlar include a large selection of housing for any buyer's needs:

  1. Budget compact apartments from the developer for vacation several times a year.
  2. Inexpensive apartments on the secondary market.
  3. Luxury projects - penthouses, duplexes, villas - in residential complexes with luxurious infrastructure.
  4. Real estate on the first coastline.

Despite the large selection of apartments and houses, in recent years in Mahmutlar there has been a certain lack of supply and rising prices. This is due to the fact that along with the increase in demand, most of the liquid sites have already been bought by far-sighted construction companies. Therefore, if you want to own a property in this heavenly corner of Alanya, we recommend that you do not put off the purchase on the back burner and start looking for liquid offers right now.
