Living in Modiin, Working in Jerusalem - Why It's the Best Choice in 2026
Living in Modiin, Working in Jerusalem - Why It Works in 2026
One of the hottest trends in real estate 2026: Jerusalem residents selling their apartment in Jerusalem, buying a larger house in Modiin, and working 30 minutes away. Merkaz HaNekhasim sees this in the field - and explains why it works.
The Simple Calculation
A 4-room apartment in Pisgat Ze'ev: 2.0M ₪. A 5-room apartment in Modiin Sapir: 2.4M ₪. A small difference - but in Modiin you get: 20 more square meters, double parking, a large balcony, and a new, clean city.
Travel Time - The Truth
Modiin to Jerusalem on Highway 1: 28-35 minutes driving from Gilo. During rush hours: 45-55 minutes. For most people working 4-5 days a week, this is completely acceptable, and in the era of hybrid work - many employees go to Jerusalem only 3 days a week.
What Does Modiin Offer That Jerusalem Doesn't?
Large parks (Ankava Park), modern shopping centers, new roads, ample parking. Families with children rate Modiin very high on quality of life.
