Esenyurt lies in the west of Istanbul, ringed by Büyükçekmece to the west, Başakşehir to the north, Arnavutköy to the northwest, Avcılar to the east and Beylikdüzü to the south, on 43 km2 — and it is Turkey's most populous district. According to 2025 figures from the statistics institute, its population is 1,003,905, the first district in the country to pass one million and, on its own, larger than 57 provinces. The character follows from that: 43 neighbourhoods of high-rise housing estates, universities, hospitals and large shopping centres such as Torium and Marmara Park. It became a municipality in 1989 and a district in 2008 after merging with the town of Kıraç, and it has no historic core. Guests come here for work, family visits or trade fairs.

Istanbul Airport to Esenyurt is 55 km, about 53 minutes. The route runs southwest from the airport and never enters the city centre; because Esenyurt sits between the TEM motorway and the D-100 (E-5), the airport connection is relatively easy. Congestion concentrates on the Haramidere to Beylikdüzü stretch of the D-100: eastbound in the morning, westbound in the evening. The metrobus line serves the area, with the Haramidere and Saadetdere Mahallesi stops along it, but it is not a realistic option with luggage. If you land at Sabiha Gökçen, expect a far longer trip, since you cross the whole city.

The real difficulty here is finding the address. There are 43 neighbourhoods and a great many near-identical high-rise blocks, so a street name alone is often not enough: give the name of the estate plus the block letter or number. Most estates have barrier-controlled entrances and let visitor cars in only with security approval, so leaving a phone number that will be reachable on arrival day saves real time. The main boulevards are wide and a car can pull up at the door; the tight spots are the side streets, where double parking is common and minibus-class vehicles cannot turn. For a night arrival, describing the address relative to a shopping centre or a metrobus stop is the fastest method.
