Property in Tosmur

Tosmur: a green neighbourhood by the Dim River

Tosmur is about 6 kilometres east of Alanya centre, between Oba and Kestel. Set at the mouth of the Dim River, it is known for greenery, low-rise development and a relaxed atmosphere. There are many houses with gardens, and the new complexes are less dense than in Mahmutlar. The centre is about 10 minutes away by car, and Gazipaşa airport about 35 minutes.

Sea and river

Tosmur’s beach continues the long coastline of eastern Alanya: sand with fine pebbles, clean water and beachside cafés. The area’s highlight is the Dim River: upstream are the famous restaurants with platforms right over the water, where families spend summer days and it stays cool even in the hottest weather. Along the sea you can walk or cycle towards Oba and the centre.

Infrastructure

• supermarkets, greengrocers, bakeries and cafés;
• schools, kindergartens, sports grounds and parks;
• clinics and pharmacies; hospitals and shopping centres in Oba 5–10 minutes away;
• buses along the main road to Alanya centre, Kestel and Mahmutlar.

What to buy in Tosmur

Tosmur offers 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 apartments in complexes with pools, gardens and playgrounds, as well as duplexes and detached houses. Many complexes are small — a few dozen apartments — which creates a friendly atmosphere and keeps service charges down. The resale market includes spacious apartments with large balconies and mountain views. Prices are lower than in the centre and Oba, especially in the streets above the main road.

Who Tosmur suits

• families with children who value greenery and calm;
• people who want to live close to the centre without the bustle;
• nature lovers who enjoy walks and outdoor activities;
• buyers looking for a reasonable price per square metre near the sea.

Rentals

Tosmur appeals to tenants who want peace and quiet with quick access to the centre. Long-term rentals are popular with families, and in summer apartments near the beach let well to holidaymakers, especially families.

Prices and investment potential

Tosmur is a moderately priced area: cheaper than the centre and Oba, and roughly on a par with Kestel. Small complexes and houses with gardens rarely come to market in large numbers, so good properties sell quickly. An apartment’s value depends on the distance to the sea, whether there is a pool and the view — mountain and river views are valued as highly as sea views. For investors, Tosmur is interesting as a calm family area with steady long-term rental demand and potential for price growth as the promenade and the Dim valley are improved.

Distances and transport

• the sea — from 300 metres to 2 kilometres;
• Alanya centre — about 6 kilometres, 10 minutes;
• Oba — 5 minutes, Kestel and Mahmutlar — 5–15 minutes;
• the Dim River restaurants — 10–15 minutes up the valley;
• Gazipaşa airport — about 35 kilometres; Antalya airport — about 130 kilometres.

Tips for buyers

• small complexes have lower service charges but fewer facilities — decide what matters more to you;
• streets near the river can be more humid in summer, so for year-round living upper floors and well-ventilated apartments are more comfortable;
• check the distance to the nearest bus stop: inside the neighbourhood buses run less often than on the main road;
• Tosmur’s resale market has spacious apartments at good prices — compare the price per square metre with new builds;
• if you are looking for a house with land, check the zoning status and the occupancy permit for the buildings.

Pros and cons

• Pros: greenery and calm, the Dim River nearby, moderate prices, small friendly complexes, 10 minutes to the centre.
• Cons: fewer shops and entertainment options than Oba or Mahmutlar; some streets are far from the sea.
