Hadar up close
Hadar HaCarmel is one of Haifa's oldest and most central neighborhoods. It was built on the slopes of the Carmel, between the Lower City and the Carmel neighborhoods. Many of its buildings went up between the 20s and the 50s, some in the International Style (Bauhaus).
Hadar is home to Herzl Street, one of the city's historic shopping streets, Talpiot Market, the old Technion building, which now houses the MadaTech museum, and Masada Street with its cafés and galleries. Two Carmelit stations, HaNevi'im and Masada, are in the neighborhood.

What affects apartment prices in Hadar
In Hadar prices are usually lower than in the Carmel neighborhoods, but within the neighborhood the gaps are large:
- The building's condition: renovation, elevator, safe room or bomb shelter
- The street, and how close it is to the main roads and shops
- Floor, light and view
- Urban renewal, and the limits on listed buildings
So it's worth comparing with deals actually made on the same street, not just with asking prices in listings.
