Previously a summer resort place with only mansions used as summer houses and a dock, Caddebostan is currently a residential and attractive area for the shopping and eating possibilities it offers, especially on the Bağdat Avenue. Aside from the busy shopping street, the Caddebostan Coast is the neighbourhood's coast where people can walk, ride a bike and enjoy facilities the Dalyan Park on the coast has to offer such as sport fields and playgrounds. It is also possible to see some historical mansions like the Ragıp Pasha Mansion situated on the coast.
In recent years, Caddebostan has received a great amount of popularity for its location near the sea and its high development, with people starting to move to the neighbourhood to "escape" the "more crowded" European side of Istanbul. This led to the area surrounded by Baghdad Street suffering from traffic and overcrowdedness.
