Most people come to Alanya for a holiday. A surprising number of them never leave. Stretching from the foothills of the Taurus Mountains down to the Mediterranean, Alanya is a city that keeps going all year round, long after the summer crowds have gone home. The castle peninsula at its centre holds centuries of history, while the districts spreading out to the east and west have each grown their own self-contained daily life. According to TUIK's latest figures for the end of 2025, 38,563 foreign nationals live in Alanya, coming from 78 different countries. Russia is the largest community with 11,396 residents, followed by Ukraine (6,000), Germany (3,855), Kazakhstan (2,369) and Iran (1,826).
The city has well-developed infrastructure, but what really wins people over is how easily they fit in. English is widely spoken in almost every part of daily life, and the warm, traditional hospitality of the locals helps newcomers from all sorts of cultures feel at home quickly. Together, these things turn Alanya from a dot on a property map into a true Mediterranean home, with an international character to match.
23 Square, one of the largest projects in Alanya, sits in the middle of it all, in one of the city's most popular districts, Oba. With its horizontal architecture and low-rise buildings, Oba is among the longest-established residential areas in Alanya. The area around the state hospital in particular feels like a real neighbourhood, where life carries on all year round rather than stopping when the holiday season ends. The district has a solid expat community of its own, and it gives you direct access to large supermarkets, private schools and the new ring road. Away from the tourist crowds, with low-density developments and widely spoken English, Oba is a fully equipped, well-established base for anyone who wants to build a permanent life on the Mediterranean.
23 Square is built on a 21,500 m² plot and brings together 203 units in 11 blocks. It stands on its own island, with roads on three sides and a main avenue on the fourth. That matters more than it sounds: about 95% of the apartments have an open front, and the nearest block opposite is 54 metres away. Because of that, most homes get plenty of light and air, and you aren't looking straight into your neighbour's windows.
Whether you want a garden of your own or a terrace high above the neighbourhood, there is a home for it here. The blocks include garden duplexes, roof duplexes and standard apartments in a range of sizes. In a typical block, a garden duplex sits at the bottom, two floors of standard apartments in the middle, and a roof duplex at the top.
Most of the social life at 23 Square happens in Club 23, a 975 m² indoor facility, and around the pools outside. You can swim in the open or indoor pools, then head to the Turkish bath, sauna, steam room or salt room, and finish with a massage. The outdoor pools cover 417 m² in total, with separate areas for adults and children.
Everyday needs are covered on site. Shops 23 is a commercial area of 1,390 m², set around a 3,364 m² public square. Behind the scenes, Service 23 handles 24/7 security and site management, and professional concierge services are available too. Generators keep the power on around the clock, and round-the-clock camera surveillance and lifts in every block complete the picture.
23 Square is suitable for residence permit applications, and selected units may also qualify for Turkish citizenship, depending on the title deed value and current legal requirements. We check the eligibility of your chosen apartment before you decide.
23 Square sits in the middle of Oba's daily life. The supermarket is 500 metres away, two hospitals are within 650 metres, and the beach is 750 metres from your door, which is about a ten-minute walk. For anything further afield, the city centre, the shopping mall and the airport are all a short drive away.
Healthcare is one of the strongest points of this location. Two hospitals are within walking distance, which is rare for a residential project.
Families have several options nearby, including international and Russian-language education.
Whether you want a compact one-bedroom or a four-bedroom home with its own garden, there is something here for it. The blocks include standard apartments, garden duplexes and roof-level apartments, from 65 m² all the way up to 286 m². The table below shows what is available.
| Type | Size |
|---|---|
| 1+1 apartments | 65 – 82 m² |
| 2+1 apartments | 81 – 135 m² |
| 2+1 garden duplexes, with private garden | 140 – 163 m² |
| 2+1 roof-level apartments | 145 – 153 m² |
| 3+1 apartments | 151 – 161 m² |
| 3+1 roof-level apartments | 172 – 201 m² |
| 4+1 apartments | 213 m² |
| 4+1 garden duplexes, with private garden | 286 m² |
In a typical block, a garden duplex sits at the bottom, with standard apartments on the middle floors and a roof duplex at the top. Garden duplexes give you a private outdoor space at your front door, while the top floors offer more privacy and wider views.
Each apartment has been planned down to the last detail, with modern architecture and a finish that feels comfortable from the day you move in. You get a smart home system, underfloor heating and a fitted kitchen with granite worktops, so there is very little left to do except bring your suitcase.
You now know the location, the facilities and the apartment types. The next step is seeing which homes are actually available. Availability, floor levels and prices change quickly, so the best way to get an up-to-date picture is to talk to our team directly.
