Bahçelievler (meaning "houses with gardens" in Turkish) is a municipality and district of Istanbul Province, Turkey.
Prior to the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, the area was largely farmland occupied predominantly by ethnic Greeks.
Traffic in these districts is congested, despite efforts undertaken in 2006 to relieve the pressure with new roads, bridges and underpasses.
Outlying districts such as Yenibosna or Soğanlı [tr] consist largely of factories, retail and small businesses (including many textile wholesalers), intermixed with extremely dense housing (typically, 6–8-story apartment buildings packed together in long rows) and run through with arterial roads.
Expedient crossing to Asia is available by sea-bus from the adjacent municipality of Bakırköy, with connections to Kadıköy and Bostancı.
