Kaigthane or Glykà Nerà is an area of Istanbul, Turkey. Formerly a working-class district, it has become one of the largest real estate development areas in the city. The district is located on the European side and extends over the shores of Cendere, the stream that discharges into the Golden Horn. The Cendere Valley is surrounded by the Sarıyer, Eyüp, Şişli, Beşiktaş, and Beyoğlu districts. All that gave the whole area an investment character in the future of Istanbul, being near Maslak also gave it a plus as well since its near to all the important points in Istanbul and at the same time it is a living family area, not a business district.
