Dosemealti: a house with a plot at the foot of the mountains
- your own house with a garden
- families
- those who don't cope well with heat
Dosemealti is a suburb on the hills above Antalya: your own house with a plot, mountains nearby and space.
What it is like to live here
Dosemealti (Antalya) is a district 20 km from the city, on the Antalya — Burdur road (municipality). There are private houses, villas and low-rise complexes. If you go through the districts of Antalya looking for private houses with a plot, the Life by Sea guide advises starting here.
Dosemealti is growing faster than any other district of the city: +69.8‰ residents in 2025 (TÜİK). People used to weave döşemealtı carpets here; now they work in the industrial zone, and by the road stands the Seljuk caravanserai Kırkgöz Han.
Life here is by car: the sea, school, shops — all trips; without a car it is hard. The guide recommends the district to those who don't cope well with heat.

Voice of a resident
A weekday here is a route by car: drop the child off, buy groceries, come back. Drive it before buying, and ask the neighbours what the house is like in winter.

Can you get a residence permit when buying here?
By law, housing from 200,000 USD is a basis for a residence permit of up to two years if you live in it and don't let it (Göç İdaresi); the migration service decides. At the guide's prices, villas reach the threshold, flats are usually cheaper.

What taxes does an owner pay when letting?
Rental income is taxed on a 15–40% scale; in 2026 the first 58,000 TL a year are exempt if the income is declared (GVK No. 193). A non-resident should check. Housing held for a residence permit is not let.
