8 M1 Stations in Rishon Lezion — Map of the Winners
1. Bnot Hail
A station in northern Rishon Lezion, close to a military base. A quiet neighborhood with old buildings. After the metro: great potential for appreciation because the starting point is low.
2. City Center
The historical heart of Rishon Lezion. Already relatively high prices. The metro will strengthen the positioning and increase demand, but the jump will be moderate because part of the premium is already reflected.
3. Rishonim
The Rishonim neighborhood — in demand, middle-class. The metro will add demand from Gush Dan residents who will discover that it is possible to live here and travel easily. Expected increase: 8-12%.
4. Sderot HaTzionut
One of the main boulevards. A station on Sderot HaTzionut = easy access to all parts of Rishon Lezion. Higher demand than ever.
5. Yosef Borg
An area under development with new projects. The metro will accelerate development. This is the area with the greatest potential for value increase — because before the metro, it was less attractive.
6. Herzog
A quiet neighborhood, mixed old/new construction. The metro will change the profile of the area. New projects are already being planned accordingly.
7. Asaf HaRofeh
Close to a hospital. Always in demand due to doctors and medical facilities. The metro will further strengthen the positioning.
8. Tzrifin (Nachshon)
The southern station. Close to open spaces and new projects. High potential for people looking for "diminished distance" with accessibility.
