Who lives here

Getting around
Route 4 runs along Ra'anana's eastern side, with the coastal highway and Herzliya's business district a short drive west. Ahuza Street is a drive or a long walk away, and most families treat a car as essential.

Beware
- You pay a premium for an established reputation rather than for newer stock.
- A roof agreement for about 6,823 homes, mostly in a new district, could temper price growth across Ra'anana.
- That agreement's signing was called off in December 2025, so its status is uncertain.
- Life is car-dependent, and teenagers without cars can find it dull.
- Many villas and cottages carry extensions that may not match the permit file.
Check before you make an offer
- Pull the Tabu extract and check whether the ILA lease is capitalised and ILA consent is needed to transfer.
- Compare any villa with the municipal building file for unpermitted pergolas, basements and roof additions.
- For a semi-detached cottage, read the co-ownership agreement on garden and building rights.
- Check unused building rights and who bears any betterment levy triggered by the sale.
- Ask the municipality for the current status of the Ra'anana roof agreement and the new district.
The verdict
