The dashed red line is the area median of ₪62,419 per m². Dots above it sold for more per metre than the median; dots below it, for less.
The area
What you get
- Original three- and four-storey estate blocks beside new eight- to fifteen-storey buildings and several towers.
- At the median of about ₪5.4m, expect a three- or four-room flat; a new four-room flat with parking usually costs well above it.
- Older blocks often have no lift and no mamad; new buildings have both, which drives much of their premium.
- Park HaYarkon is a few minutes' walk from most homes, with Gan Abramovich on Tel Hashash at the centre.
- Old flats on busy edges trade far below new flats on quiet streets, so the median hides a wide spread.
Who lives here
Mainly families and established professionals, with many original owners still in renewed buildings. It is widely described as having a sizeable English- and French-speaking presence, with networks running through schools and synagogues.
Getting around
Only one city bus line runs inside the neighbourhood, but many run along Namir Road, and Tel Aviv University rail station is a short ride away. The Ayalon is on the doorstep, though the few exits queue at rush hour.

Beware
- Reports describe around 3,300 homes in construction or planning, so noise, dust, lorries and lost parking will last for years.
- TAMA 38 expired on 18 May 2026, so an old flat sold on renewal potential without a valid permit may wait much longer.
- The median price per metre has fallen from about ₪64,500 in 2024 to about ₪56,700 in 2026 to date.
- Bounded by a park, a highway and a main road, Bavli has few entrances, and added homes will increase congestion.
- Several recent registered deals show no street address, and one 36 m² flat sold for ₪3.5m, so treat single deals with care.
Check before you make an offer
- Confirm whether the building's project is signed, permitted or merely discussed, and whether any TAMA 38 permit predates 18 May 2026.
- In a building with a signed deal, read the developer agreement, its guarantees and timetable, since you step into the seller's position.
- Check the planning files for neighbouring plots, as a renewed flat beside a new tower site is a different purchase.
- Confirm that any parking space and storeroom are registered to the flat in the condominium order, not just the brochure.
- Check school allocation for the exact address, as places follow municipal zoning.
The verdict
Works well for
- Families who want a quiet, green neighbourhood inside Tel Aviv.
- Buyers who want Park HaYarkon on the doorstep.
- English- and French-speaking families looking for an established community.
- Drivers who need quick access to the Ayalon.
Harder to recommend for
- Buyers who cannot tolerate years of construction around them.
- Investors chasing rental yield.
- Buyers paying a renewal premium without a signed, permitted project.
Bavli combines quiet streets, a great park and quick road access, and renewal is giving it the modern stock it lacked. The cost is high prices, building sites on many streets and real uncertainty for unrenewed blocks. Buy the project, not the promise.
