Property for sale in Oba is a short way from the town centre: Oba is one of the first neighbourhoods east of central Alanya. Oba has only a short stretch of shore, then climbs about six kilometres inland through citrus groves towards the Taurus foothills. There are 299 properties from 86,432 USD, and apartments in Oba also have their own list.
Lower Oba or upper Oba?
Estate agents split the neighbourhood along Alanya’s eastern ring road, the Doğu Çevreyolu. Below it, towards the sea, the neighbourhood is a busy grid of shops, cafés and apartment blocks, and the beach is a walk away. Above it, newer complexes spread up the slope. Those streets are quieter and less touristy, but the beach becomes a drive or a bus ride.
Most everyday needs are met locally. For example, Alanya Training and Research Hospital, the state teaching hospital linked to Alaaddin Keykubat University (ALKÜ), is here. The harbour and the old streets under the castle are another matter: the higher up the flat, the longer the trip. If walking into the old town matters, compare it with Alanya town centre. Further east along the coast is Tosmur.
What is on the market
Nearly every listing is an apartment in a residential complex with shared grounds. Many are new builds, and there are penthouses too. Detached villas are rare here, and a few listings are shops or offices. Because the neighbourhood runs so far inland, the same layout can mean a flat one street from the promenade or one halfway up the hill. Start with how far the listing says it is from the sea; not every seller fills that in.
Listings priced at or above the citizenship threshold are gathered on the citizenship-by-investment page. Fees, title-deed rules and the buying process apply across the country; see buying property in Turkey.
Residence permits and an Oba address
In 2022 Göç İdaresi, Turkey’s migration authority, stopped granting residence permits to foreign nationals in a set of neighbourhoods, with exceptions only for newborns and family reunification. Oba was not one of them: in Alanya the list named Mahmutlar, Kestel, Kargıcak and Avsallar. In our data those four are still marked as closed, following the 2022 decision. In June 2026 local sources reported that applications there had in practice resumed; the authority has published no notice or new list. Listings here within the price range appear among our residence-by-investment listings.
The list can change. A neighbourhood is closed once foreign residents exceed 20% of its Turkish citizens. The authority has not published a newer list since 2022, so we cannot confirm the position for 2026. Buying mainly for a permit? Before any deposit, check with Antalya’s provincial migration office (İl Göç İdaresi) whether applications at that exact address are being accepted. Kestel, the nearest of those four, begins just past Tosmur, so check the neighbourhood name on the tapu.
How we check the data
Two sources of listings
Listings arrive by two routes. Developer projects come through the developer’s own feed, which we sync every night. The rest are gathered from agency websites and large international property portals. Prices are shown in the seller’s currency, here Turkish lira or euros, and converted to US dollars daily at a reference exchange rate.
Sellers rarely give the exact building, so most listings here show a circle marked “Approximate location” on the map rather than an exact marker. The area named in an advert is not proof of the address either: a few listings filed here describe other parts of Alanya. Confirm the mahalle, floor and distance to the sea from the documents for that specific flat.

Before you pay anything
Get the seller to confirm the price and availability in writing. A withdrawn listing opens a “This listing has been removed” page. Treat this page as background rather than legal advice: have a lawyer in Turkey review the title deed and the draft contract before money changes hands.
