Property for Sale in Tosmur, Alanya: Between the Beach, Dim River and City Centre

Tosmur is easy to miss if you only scan a map of Alanya by neighbourhood name. It is a small area next to Oba and rarely makes as much noise about itself as the town centre. Central Alanya is close, the beach is within walking distance from many homes, and the Dim River runs along the eastern edge. Local families and overseas homeowners live in Tosmur throughout the year, so the streets do not empty once the summer season ends.

This page features current apartments for sale in Tosmur. The portfolio includes completed property, furnished homes, new developments, off-plan apartments, larger family layouts and penthouses with sea or mountain views. Below, you can see how Tosmur compares with nearby areas, what type of property is available and who usually feels at home in this part of Alanya.

Where is Tosmur?

Tosmur lies around 5–6 kilometres east of central Alanya. Oba begins on its western side, while the Dim River forms the eastern edge near Kestel. The Mediterranean runs along the south of the neighbourhood, and the residential streets gradually rise towards the mountains in the north.

The D400 coastal road passes through Tosmur. Regular buses connect the area with central Alanya, Oba, Kestel and Mahmutlar. Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport is roughly 35–40 kilometres away.

Tosmur itself is fairly compact. From many residential complexes, the beach, weekly market and bus stops are within walking distance. Homes near the coast are popular with holiday buyers. Further inland, the streets become quieter and there are established residential complexes with larger grounds, occupied throughout the year by Turkish families and international property owners.

How is Tosmur different from nearby parts of Alanya?

Tosmur sits in a useful position. It is closer to central Alanya than Kestel or Mahmutlar, while neighbouring Oba has hospitals, larger supermarkets and shopping centres. The Dim River is only minutes away, and the D400 gives direct access along the coast. Yet most residential streets stay away from the heaviest town-centre traffic.

The buildings are quite mixed. Tosmur has low-rise town blocks, five-to-nine-storey complexes and several taller residences. You do not see the same range of building heights in Kestel. Development happened gradually here, and the property market shows it. An established complex from the early 2000s with a large garden may stand next to a new building with smaller, modern layouts.

Mahmutlar feels different again. It has longer shopping streets, denser development and more movement throughout the day. Tosmur is smaller and closer to the centre of Alanya.

Tosmur beach and seafront

The D400 sits between many residential streets and the Mediterranean. Pedestrian underpasses and marked crossings provide access to the beach. From complexes close to the coast, the walk usually takes only a few minutes.

The shoreline changes from one section to the next. Some parts have sand mixed with fine pebbles, while flat rock formations appear in the water elsewhere. Near the mouth of the Dim River, cold freshwater meets the sea and the water can feel cooler. Entry conditions vary too, even between neighbouring stretches of beach.

A promenade runs along the coast with walking paths, sports courts, outdoor gym equipment and seating areas. Mornings bring walkers and runners. Later in the day, families and cyclists come out as the strongest heat begins to ease.

The Dim River and Tosmur’s greener side

The Dim River follows the eastern boundary of Tosmur and reaches the Mediterranean beside the beach. It comes down from the Taurus Mountains and gives this side of the neighbourhood a different feel. There is more greenery near the river, cooler air during summer and, from some apartments, an open view across the water towards the mountains and sea.

Follow the river inland and the town streets gradually give way to the Dimçay valley. Restaurants are built on wooden platforms over the water, and many have swimming pools and water slides. In August, the change in temperature is immediately noticeable. The coast is hot; beside the river, people tend to stay for hours. Turkish breakfast, grilled meat and fresh trout are the usual orders.

Everyday life in Tosmur

Tosmur works as a year-round residential neighbourhood. Supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, cafés, restaurants and salons remain open outside the holiday season. For a larger shopping trip, Oba is only a short distance away.

Thursday is market day in Tosmur. The stalls fill with seasonal fruit and vegetables, herbs, cheese, olives and spices. Other rows sell clothes, towels and household goods. Many local shoppers arrive with wheeled trolleys and buy enough for several days. You can manage without one, provided you are confident you will walk past the watermelons, melons and boxes of strawberries.

Public transport is well organised. The most frequently used buses, numbers 1 and 101, travel along the D400 through Oba and central Alanya. They provide access to Atatürk Boulevard, Cleopatra Beach and the main bus station. In the other direction, the routes continue through Kestel towards Mahmutlar, with regular services running throughout the day.

What property can you buy in Tosmur?

Anyone planning to buy an apartment in Tosmur will find more than newly built one-bedroom layouts. The area developed over several periods, so the resale market includes two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments with large rooms, separate kitchens, several balconies and floor areas rarely seen in many current projects.

Many completed apartments are sold with furniture and appliances. During a viewing, you can see the actual condition of the building, communal facilities, neighbouring development and the real view from each window. Residential complexes often include an outdoor pool, garden, shaded seating, children’s playground, gym, sauna and backup generator.

New developments bring contemporary interiors and newly built communal facilities. Apartments are usually handed over with the fitted kitchen, bathroom fixtures, internal doors, flooring, sockets and lighting already installed. Buyers choose their own furniture and appliances. A wider choice of layouts is often available early in construction, and many developers provide interest-free instalment plans.

The taller buildings in Tosmur have one clear advantage: open views from the upper floors. Depending on the side of the building, an apartment may face the Mediterranean and Alanya Castle, or look across the Dim River, green slopes and Taurus Mountains. Penthouses and high-floor apartments usually have the widest outlook.

Property in Tosmur for rental income

Tosmur appeals to tenants who want the beach close by and straightforward access to central Alanya. It is especially familiar to repeat visitors who know the town well and no longer want to stay in its busiest tourist streets. Apartments are rented for summer holidays, several-month stays and long-term living.

For long-term rental, furnished one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments near public transport and daily services are commonly considered for long-term rental. Holiday tenants pay more attention to the walk to the beach, the pool and the overall condition of the complex. Larger two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes can work well for families when they are fully furnished and ready to occupy.

Short-term holiday rentals in Turkey require official permission. Not every apartment or residential building can legally be listed on Airbnb or Booking.com. Musa Homes checks the permitted rental format before a buyer commits and calculates potential income using the actual property rather than a general percentage for the whole area.

Tosmur for holidays and permanent living

Tosmur gives buyers several ways to purchase. A completed apartment suits anyone who wants the keys soon and plans to use the home this summer. Buyers with a later move or holiday in mind can consider an off-plan apartment in Tosmur. Interest-free payment plans are available in many developments, allowing the purchase price to be spread across the construction period.

There is a broad choice for permanent living as well. Established buildings often have spacious two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments with large balconies and separate kitchens. New developments provide fresh interiors, modern communal areas and a home that can be furnished from the beginning to suit its owner.

The neighbourhood remains lived-in throughout the year. Summer brings more holidaymakers, while permanent residents stay through winter. Management companies continue to look after the buildings and shared grounds after the main holiday season has finished.

Who should consider buying an apartment in Tosmur?

Tosmur suits buyers who find central Alanya too busy but do not want to move much farther east. The neighbourhood works for holidays, permanent living and long-term rental. There are compact apartments for one person or a couple, larger family homes and penthouses with open views.
