Why invest in Givatayim

Givatayim was formed from neighbourhoods founded from 1922 onwards, including Borochov, the first workers' neighbourhood in the country, and became a city in 1959. The city directly borders Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, in the heart of the Gush Dan, and has 58,601 residents (CBS 2024). Its name means "the two hills", recalling the two hills on which the first neighbourhoods were built. Givatayim has positioned itself as the quiet, green alternative to Tel Aviv: parks, theatre, Bauhaus architecture and family life, a few minutes from the metropolis. The neighbourhoods tell this story: Borochov, founded in 1922; Givat Rambam, 1933; Kiryat Yosef, 1934; Sheinkin and Arlozorov, 1936; and Tel Ganim, Tel Haim and Nahalat Yitzchak, quieter residential neighbourhoods valued by families. The city is undergoing urban renewal: older buildings are being replaced under the national renewal programme that followed the former Tama 38 programme, and new projects are rising in several neighbourhoods. Three new-build programmes are currently listed in the IsraelStart catalogue in Givatayim and can be viewed in the catalogue; the resale market completes the offer. For a buyer, Givatayim reads as a premium main-residence and pied-à-terre city: spacious apartments, quiet streets and proximity to Tel Aviv, without its density. No price per square metre and no yield are published here, for lack of a verified source: the figure previously shown was published without a source and is not repeated in this content. Prices are checked file by file, property by property, with our team, programme by programme and resale property by resale property. Purchase tax, notably the Mas Rechisha tax, is calculated case by case: our tax and fees simulator and our dedicated guide explain the process without giving numerical thresholds, pending the ongoing tax ruling. Buying in Givatayim from France or from abroad is possible, with power of attorney and legal support in English, for a main residence as well as a pied-à-terre.
