Kandilli
Administrative status: Official waterfront neighborhood in Üsküdar district

Acıbadem, Üsküdar
Administrative status: Official Üsküdar neighborhood; a separate official Acıbadem neighborhood also exists in Kadıköy
Acıbadem should always be written with its district name. Both Üsküdar and Kadıköy list an official neighborhood with this name. M4 Acıbadem station serves the broader area, but every property page must identify the formal district and the actual distance to a station entrance.

Küçük Çamlıca
Administrative status: Official neighborhood in Üsküdar district
Küçük Çamlıca is an official inland neighborhood in a higher part of Üsküdar. The municipal map shows Küçük Çamlıca, Kısıklı and Libadiye streets within the area. It should not be conflated with Büyük Çamlıca or the Kısıklı and Ferah neighborhoods; the formal property address is decisive.

What should be checked for a specific property?
A neighborhood name alone is not enough to assess a property. The formal title address, actual walking distance to a station entrance, street access and gradient, the building’s legal and technical status and any applicable restrictions must be checked for the specific property. District-level studies do not replace a building-level technical assessment.
