Nof Yam property prices 2026.
Quiet seafront Herzliya enclave with walkable shuls, on an eroding cliff.
Nof Yam is a low-rise residential quarter on Herzliya's coast, between Herzliya Pituach and Apollonia National Park, with an established religious community. Registered prices sit below Pituach per square metre, but only 12 sales were recorded in nearly three years. The sandstone cliff is collapsing in places, so survey the ground before you buy.

Size against price
The dashed red line is the area median of ₪51,698 per m². Dots above it sold for more per metre than the median; dots below it, for less.
The area
What you get
- About ₪4m–₪4.5m buys a four-room flat of 80–90 m² in an older building.
- Detached houses start well above ₪7m, and seafront plots reach tens of millions.
- A mix of older, smaller blocks and larger detached homes, with wide gaps in building quality.
- Quiet, green streets with little through traffic or retail.
Who lives here
Largely established Herzliya households, many of them long-term residents, with low turnover. There is a real religious community served by several synagogues within walking distance.
Getting around
Route 2 runs along the eastern side, and Tel Aviv is about 15–20 km south. Shops, secondary schools and most services mean a short drive to Pituach, the city centre or the Seven Stars mall.

Beware
- The kurkar cliff has collapsed repeatedly along Herzliya's coast, and beaches have been fenced off.
- With about a dozen sales in three years, the median can move sharply on one deal.
- TAMA 38 expired on 18 May 2026, so unsigned renewal schemes must restart under the Shaked Alternative or pinui-binui.
- The neighbouring Apollonia plan, reported at about 3,900 homes in 2015, will bring new residents and traffic.
- Resale may take longer than in Herzliya's busier neighbourhoods.
Check before you make an offer
- Have a surveyor map the distance to the cliff edge, setback lines and any planned protection works.
- Pull the Tabu extract and confirm that garden or roof rights are genuinely attached to the flat.
- Inspect the municipal building file for enclosed balconies, extensions and basement conversions.
- Ask whether the building has signed with a developer, and on which renewal route.
- Check the current shape and timing of the Apollonia plan and any betterment levy it may trigger.
The verdict
Works well for
- Religious families who want to live by the sea and walk to shul.
- Buyers who want Pituach's setting at a lower price per square metre.
- Households that value quiet and green space over nightlife and shops.
- Long-term owners prepared to wait out renewal and planning cycles.
Harder to recommend for
- Anyone buying close to the cliff edge without an expert survey.
- Families without a car, or teenagers who want independence.
- Short-term investors who need a quick, predictable resale.
Nof Yam is a rare genuinely residential seafront neighbourhood with an established religious community, priced below Pituach. The cliff is failing, protection funding has been slow and the market is too thin to price with confidence. Buy here for the life, not the trade, and survey the ground before you fall for the view.
