Kiryat Yovel — Large, Diverse, and Renewing

Kiryat Yovel, with about 50,000 residents, is a dynamic neighborhood with dozens of pinui-binui and TAMA 38 projects. Excellent accessibility to the light rail and all parts of Jerusalem.

Prices: 1.8M–2.5M ₪. Relatively cheap with potential for betterment.

4 rooms: Ein Karem — about 3.8M ₪, Kiryat Yovel — about 2.0M ₪. A gap of 1.8 million ₪.

Those looking for uniqueness, tranquility, and an artistic-boutique lifestyle. Suitable for people with a high budget who want a special neighborhood.

Who Would Prefer Kiryat Yovel?

Families looking for an accessible price, pinui-binui, and accessibility. Kiryat Yovel offers Jerusalem at a reasonable price.
