Neve Sha'anan up close
Neve Sha'anan is one of the largest neighborhoods in Haifa. It's in the southeast of the city, on the eastern ridge of the Carmel, next to the Technion. Being close to the Technion creates constant demand for apartments in the neighborhood, both to live in and to rent out.
The neighborhood was founded in 1922, and since then buildings from different periods have gone up here: older houses on large plots, low-rise buildings, long "train buildings" from the years of mass immigration, and new high-rises. So it has apartments of very different sizes and prices, and prices are usually lower than in the Carmel neighborhoods.
What will you find in Neve Sha'anan?
- 2–3-room apartments
- 4+ room apartments
- Ground-floor apartments
- New buildings

Apartment prices in Neve Sha'anan, Haifa: what drives them
Prices in Neve Sha'anan are usually lower than in the Carmel neighborhoods, such as Carmelia or Ramat Hen, but within the neighborhood the gaps are large:
- New or older building: a safe room, an elevator and parking raise the apartment's value
- The apartment's condition: renovated or in need of renovation
- Floor, stairs and view
- The street, and how far it is from the Technion, the shops and the main roads
- Urban renewal: whether the building has a plan, and what stage it's at
For example, the two apartments we marketed in the neighborhood both have 4 rooms, but the price gap between them is large: one is 130 m² in a new building, the other a ground-floor apartment of about 80 m².
