Tepeüstü is a neighborhood in the municipality and district of Ümraniye, Istanbul Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 13,700 (2022).[2] Its land area is 42 hectares.[3]
The name of the neighborhood means literally "hill top" (Turkish: tepe + üst).
Tepeüstü is bordered on northeast by Alemdağ Avenue and the Ümraniye neighborhoods of Ihlamurkuyu and Cemil Meriç; on the east by Doğanevler Avenue and the Ümraniye neighborhood of Altınşehir; on the southwest by Tavukçuyolu Avenue and the Ümraniye neighborhoods of Mehmet Akif and Çakmak; on the west by Kaşgarlı Mahmut Avenue and the Ümraniye neighborhood of Çakmak; and on its northwest corner by the Ümraniye neighborhood of Fatih Sultan Mehmet.[4]
In the 1990s, the area of Tepeüstü began to be densely settled.[5] Because of "cadastral inconsistencies," "expropriation problems," and "old, unhealthy buildings with earthquake risk," plans for urban renewal began in 1998 and continued to at least 2024.[6]
