New Build Property in Caesarea: Developments & Areas 2026

Why invest in Caesarea

Caesarea is a town apart in Israel. Located on the coastal plain, halfway between Tel Aviv and Haifa — about 45 kilometres from each — and 5 kilometres northwest of Hadera, it has 5,783 residents according to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS, 2021). It is the only locality in the country run by a private organisation, the Caesarea Development Corporation, an arm of the Rothschild Foundation, under the jurisdiction of the Hof HaCarmel Regional Council. The modern town, founded in 1952, stands beside one of the greatest ancient cities of the Mediterranean: Caesarea Maritima, the harbour built by Herod the Great between 25 and 13 BCE, capital of Roman Judaea and then of Byzantine Palestine, and a Crusader fortress from the 12th to the 13th century. Its remains — theatre, hippodrome, aqueduct, Herod's palace — now form Caesarea National Park, one of the most visited archaeological sites in the country.

The areas of Caesarea. The residential town is divided into housing zones called 'clusters', each with its own character. Cluster 13, the Golf Cluster, the most recent, borders the Caesarea Golf Club course, Israel's only 18-hole golf course, designed by the famous architect Pete Dye: large plots, prestige villas and views over the greens. Cluster 6, HaYam, is the most sought-after seafront address, with villas facing the Mediterranean. Cluster 3, HaTzmarot, and Cluster 8, HaBikurim, are the family neighbourhoods, leafy and close to schools and parks. Cluster 12, HaTeva, the newest after the golf cluster, favours modern construction and an ecological approach. To the south, the ancient harbour and the national park concentrate restaurants, galleries and boutiques amid Roman and Crusader ruins.

Buying in Caesarea from abroad. Foreign buyers can freely purchase property in Israel, with the support of a specialist lawyer. The process involves verifying the title deed (Tabu), signing a contract overseen by the lawyer, and paying the purchase tax (mas rechisha), whose amount depends on the price of the property and the status of the buyer: the IsraelStart legal guide and the tax and fees simulator explain the calculation. At the time of writing, IsraelStart lists no new developments in Caesarea: this page is therefore a guide, and buying here means resale — existing villas and apartments — with the resale guide and personalised search. No sourced price per square metre is available for the town: no figure is given here, despite Caesarea's upscale reputation. Before deciding, compare with the neighbouring towns of Hadera, Or Akiva and Zikhron Ya'akov, estimate your financing with the financing simulator and your budget by city with the budget simulator.

Living in Caesarea means living between history and the seaside. The national park hosts concerts in the Roman theatre, including the International Opera Festival, and the ancient harbour has become a promenade with restaurants and galleries. The Ralli Museums exhibit Latin American and Spanish art, and the Birds Mosaic, the remains of a Byzantine palace, can be visited freely. Caesarea Beach and Aqueduct Beach offer sand and swimming steps away from the ancient arches. Caesarea–Pardes Hanna station, on the Tel Aviv–Haifa line, and Routes 2 and 4 connect the town to both metropolises in under an hour. Caesarea Business Park, east of the town, employs about 5,500 people in some 170 companies, notably in high technology and distribution. Many residents work in Tel Aviv or Haifa and come home in the evening to a calm, green and very well-kept town.
