Picking the Right Community for You
If you want Jerusalem Area Real Estate…
Areas include: Jerusalem, Ma’aleh Adumim, Modi’in, Beit Shemesh and more. The mix of religious and historic significance blended with a modern, holy twist doesn’t have to be a distant Aliyah dream anymore. Many Olim have made their homes here and in many synagogues one cannot be surprised to hear English being spoken between a majority of members. You can find yourself living in a private home or apartment of Jerusalem stone, while also being just a quick walk from the Old City and Machane Yehuda Market. What more could you ask?

If you want to go North…
Top Real Estate Areas Include: Haifa, the Golan Heights, Zichron Yaakov, Upper and Lower Galilee, Tiberias, Safed and more. If you’re looking for elevation and hills, this is the place for you. Here you may find more rural communities, such as kibbutzim and moshavim (differences between these two to be discussed in a following post).

If you want to go South…
Top Real Estate Areas Include: Rehovot, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Rishon LeTzion, as well as the Negev. If you’re attracted to quiet beach towns and communities, moving to the southern coast may be just what you’re looking for. The Negev is home to many cities, including Beer Sheva which is home to one of the top universities in the world, Ben-Gurion University.

And if you want to stay Central…
Top Real Estate Areas Include: Tel Aviv/Yaffo, Netanya, Kfar Saba, Ra’anana, and Herzilya. Many Olim have chosen to make the center their home and find more English speakers in this area of the country. If you’re a city person and want a bit more of the hustle and bustle of a large Anglo community, consider the center as your first stop.
