A new housing project in Kiryat Gat, located about 25 minutes from Beit Shemesh, is attracting Haredi families looking to upgrade their living situation. The "Mishkenot Shir" project, part of the "Ma'arava" quarter in western Kiryat Gat, offers larger apartments at a price point approximately one million shekels lower than comparable properties in Beit Shemesh. This price difference allows families to acquire spacious garden or roof apartments, starting from 2.77 million shekels, while remaining relatively close to their established communities and familiar centers.
The "Mishkenot Shir" project, developed by Reisdor Group and Shviro, is designed specifically for the needs of large Haredi families. It features spacious apartments, boutique buildings with a maximum of 15 families each, and a unique design where the safe room includes a shower and toilet, providing added convenience. The surrounding "Ma'arava" quarter is planned as a complete Haredi community, including Torah institutions, synagogues, educational facilities, community services, commercial areas, and public spaces.
Accessibility is another key advantage, with the quarter situated near major transportation routes and benefiting from planned transportation development. The project also aims to leverage employment opportunities in the Kiryat Gat area and government initiatives supporting regional growth. The combination of proximity to Beit Shemesh, significant cost savings, larger homes, and a tailored community plan makes "Mishkenot Shir" an appealing option for families seeking improved housing quality without a substantial move.
