A feature asks which city saw three-room apartments sell for up to NIS 600,000, and portrays a place of contrasts, with luxurious homes alongside new construction. The piece says property taxes there are among the highest in Israel, while residents describe it as a pricey but highly desirable place to live.
One resident is quoted saying that if you can afford it, “this is the best place in the world.” Another says people once wanted to build “Rambla-style boulevards” there, but “it will not be Dizengoff either,” suggesting a more modest urban character than some had imagined.
The article also notes that the town is booming, but not every kind of development fits well. One quote says it is “a prosperous town,” yet the area was handled by “bulldozers” when it needed “work with tweezers,” implying heavy-handed construction in a place that requires careful planning.
The article is presented as part of a real-estate discussion about Israel’s housing market and urban growth, but the central factual hook is the sale of three-room apartments for up to NIS 600,000 in this particular city.
