Investment in French Hill 2026

French Hill is considered one of the attractive investment destinations in Jerusalem due to stable academic demand. Approximately 23,000 students and faculty at the Hebrew University create a constant annual demand for rental apartments.

Why Invest?

• Annual occupancy of 95%+ (academic tenants and faculty)
• Quality tenants — professors, post-doctoral researchers, international faculty
• Minimum rental cycles of one year, no subletting
• Continuous value increase — +18% in the last five years

Example Yield Calculation

3-room apartment in French Hill: purchase 2.1M ₪, rent 5,500 ₪/month = 66,000 ₪/year. Gross yield: 3.14%. After expenses (property tax, management, insurance): net yield ~2.5–3.1%.

Points to Note

• Old buildings (1970s-80s) without elevators — less in demand
• Proximity to a main transportation route improves rental capability
• Potential for TAMA 38/pinui-binui in some buildings
