Tel Aviv, the big city, the city without a break, has in recent years become an increasingly attractive residential destination. Since the 1990s, when the city was inhabited mainly by elderly people who were “stuck” in it or students in shared apartments, the demographic map of Tel Aviv changes from end to end, and today you can easily find in the same building, families with young children, retirees who sold the house in the periphery to Living in the city, single hitchhikers, students, and maybe some vacation apartment or two.
Families – Many families choose to raise their children in the big city. The education system in Tel Aviv is considered one of the best in the country, and there is a large selection of classes, activities, areas of interest for both children and parents. The Yarkon Park and the beach are great free attractions for families, the museums in the city are free for children under the age of 18, and the whole city is adapting itself to families at the various festivals and events that take place throughout the city. Families need spacious apartments, with enough bedrooms for all the children but also a spacious living room and kitchen, at least 2 bathrooms, and usually require at least one elevator and one parking space. Families love to live in the old north, in the area of State Square and in the heart of the city. Families tend to buy apartments but some are also looking for apartments for rent.
Retirees – When you retire and the children grow up and leave home, and no longer spend hours at work, the periphery becomes less and less attractive. In recent years, Tel Aviv has been absorbing single retirees and couples who understand that the big city has a lot to offer. For the price of a large villa in the periphery, which needs to be maintained and cleaned and there is nowhere to go without a car, you can buy a 3-4 room apartment in the center of Tel Aviv, close to entertainment and cultural centers, the sea, museums and restaurants, cafes and everything within walking distance or convenient public transport. The grandchildren are also happy to visit grandparents in the big city.
Students – From time immemorial, students have preferred to live in the big city. The fact that you can share rent and live with partners reduces housing costs, and the big city offers a wealth of entertainment and employment options suitable for students. Some prefer apartments with a living room, and some live in old apartments, where the living room becomes another room. Student apartments are usually passed between friends and relatives, and good apartments are rented for a long time, almost without a break between them.
Freelancers and Freelancers – After the student period in their lives, freelancers enjoy continuing to live in the city, although they prefer not to live in old partner apartments anymore and move to the various projects and towers in the city. The towers in Tel Aviv are characterized by luxurious apartments, 24/7 security, gym, underground parking, several elevators, sometimes a pool. Living close to Rothschild workplaces, places of entertainment and cultural centers allows you to enjoy all the worlds.
Foreign residents – Many foreign residents buy apartments in Tel Aviv. An apartment in the big city is great as an investment or as a vacation apartment. For many of them, the apartment in Tel Aviv is an “insurance certificate” in case they decide to live in Israel. And meanwhile they rent it out or use it on vacations. Many foreign residents tend not to own a car in the city, so do not always need parking. Most non-residents will prefer apartments close to the shoreline and the sea.
So who is not suitable to live in Tel Aviv? Almost everyone wants to live in the city, and for good reason. The big city offers something for everyone, at any age, in any family status. The lively boulevards, the full cafes, the shops and markets, the theaters and museums, the beach and the parks, the music and festivals, the restaurants and the nightlife scene, everything is available and easily accessible at the doorstep when you decide to live in Tel Aviv.
