Current market signals:
Prices are stable—but trending upward in high-demand areas

Where to Buy in 2025: Top Neighborhoods & Cities to Watch
Neve Shamir – Ramat Beit Shemesh Hey
Neve Shamir continues to be one of the most attractive areas for new development. Its planning is thoughtful, modern, and community-focused—ideal for young families and Anglo buyers seeking new builds with long-term upside. Projects include 3–5 room apartments, penthouses, and spacious garden homes in boutique buildings, many with flexible payment options.
Ramat Beit Shemesh Aleph
The original Anglo hub in Beit Shemesh, RBS Aleph remains in high demand. With excellent schools, vibrant shuls, parks, and English-speaking communities, it’s ideal for those looking for an established neighbourhood with strong resale and rental potential. While new inventory is limited, select renovation opportunities and high-end resale listings still offer access into this prime location.
Jerusalem
New developments in Arnona, Talpiot, and Kiryat Yovel continue to draw attention, especially with improved infrastructure and the expansion of the light rail. Investors are taking positions in projects with long-term appreciation potential, and families are snapping up anything within walking distance of key schools and shuls.
Modiin
Modern, clean, and centrally located—Modiin is a consistent Favorite among young families. Ongoing development continues in neighbourhoods like Moriah and Nofim, and prices remain competitive given its accessibility to both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Carmei Gat
The southern suburbs of Kiryat Gat, including Carmei Gat, are surging. Spacious apartments, affordable pricing, and proximity to new highway expansions make this one of the best value-for-money areas in Israel right now.
Ashdod
Ashdod’s coastal location and expanding infrastructure are making it a prime option for families and investors alike. Projects in the city centre and near the beach offer large units and strong rental returns. Demand is growing quietly—but rapidly.
Ashkelon
Still considered a coastal “value city,” Ashkelon combines affordability with lifestyle. Developments near the marina and in neighbourhoods like Barnea and Agamim are filling fast, and prices remain well below those in other coastal cities.
Netanya
From luxury towers in Ir Yamim to family-friendly units in Agamim, Netanya continues to attract both domestic and foreign buyers. Long-term appreciation is expected thanks to its coastal position, new business developments, and transportation access.
Caesarea
Israel’s only privately managed residential community, Caesarea is synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. Villas with private pools, large plots, and manicured golf course views are available at prices still lower than comparable coastal cities abroad. Ideal for high-end buyers looking for privacy and prestige.
Afula
One of the fastest-growing cities in the North, Afula offers spacious apartments at attractive entry prices. With new shopping centers, medical facilities, and improved highways, it’s becoming a target for families and investors looking to buy early in a growth zone.
Harish
Israel’s newest planned city is already home to thousands of young couples and families. Harish offers modern buildings, parks, schools, and shopping in a clean, organized layout. Prices remain reasonable, and rental demand is solid, making it a top pick for investors seeking yield.
Tiberias
With its panoramic lake views and historical charm, Tiberias is attracting buyers looking for affordable second homes and holiday rentals. Projects with views of the Kinneret are now gaining momentum, and boutique hotels and luxury residences are reviving interest in this ancient city.
Northern & Southern Israel
The North—including cities like Haifa, Zichron Yaakov, and Kiryat Tivon—offers incredible value, natural beauty, and growing employment hubs. In the South, Be’er Sheva continues to shine as a tech and academic hub, while nearby towns offer new construction at unbeatable prices.
