Göztepe, Istanbul
The neighborhood on the Asian part of Istanbul is bordered in the south by Caddebostan and Fenerbahçe, in the north by Merdivenköy, in the east by Erenköy and in the west by Feneryolu. It does not have a coast.
The notable high street of the Asian part of Istanbul, Baghdad Avenue, runs through the suburb. Göztepe's city park is the largest green space along the Avenue, covering 10,000 m (2.5 acres).
History
The neighborhood developed as a residential area for high court officials in late Ottoman times during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876–1909). Wealthy Levantines and other non-Muslims settled on Its western side. Wooden mansions within lavish gardens were built in and around Göztepe. The suburb also contained farms and dairies, which supplied the court with their products.
In the first half of the 20th century, the area was mainly populated as a summer resort. While many of the historic wooden mansions gave way to modern buildings following fires, a small number still exist.
After the construction of the D.100 highway which passes through the north of Göztepe, the neighborhood spread into the meadows in that direction.
Göztepe railway station opened after the establishment of the Baghdad Railway, and contributed to further settlement in the area. It became redundant with the opening of the Marmaray rail service which uses a more modern Göztepe station.
