Have had a home here since 2004. It is a large area and includes the fethiyespor football stadium right over Adnan Menderes Blvd to Itfyre (Fire Stn) and beyond.
For us it has the advantage of a 5min walk to dolmush services (Fethiye/Calis/Uzumlu/Gocek/Dalaman/Otacka/Dalyan etc and only a 10min walk to Otogar (Main coach stn)and Erasta mall., and 20 mins to Bogaci rest etc on prom. Consequently we do not feel the need to run a car from here.
All our neighbours are Turkish (non speaking English) and very generous, constantly bringing us food and many invites to weddings.
It's lovely to be greeted when just walking down the street. You do not feel cut off from the community and it gives of a safe feeling, particularly when you are getting older.A smile and a few words of Turkish goes a long way.
Around us there has never been a property not being sold quickly or in fact rental properties go just as quick, often bought/sold/rented by locals wanting to stay in family locations.
This is still an affordable area but do not get the idea that you will make a lot of money on re-sale.
I would suggest renting first and get a feel for whatever area you ultimately choose.
Although you are looking to buy I would suggest renting first, get a feel for any area that you are looking at.
