New Build Property in Kfar Yona: Developments & Areas 2026

Kfar Yona is a family town in the Sharon, in central Israel, a few minutes from Netanya and half an hour from Tel Aviv. Founded in 1932 among orchards and fields, it was long a quiet village before becoming a town of nearly 30,000 residents, sought after for its calm, its houses with gardens and its new residential neighbourhoods. Its property market attracts families, young couples and olim looking for a more affordable and greener alternative to Netanya or Kfar Saba, without moving away from Gush Dan.

Why invest in Kfar Yona

Located in the Central District, between Netanya to the west and Highway 6 to the east, Kfar Yona holds a strategic position in the heart of the Sharon. Highway 57 runs through the town and connects it directly to Netanya and Highway 2, the country's main coastal road. By car, Tel Aviv is about thirty minutes away and Haifa less than an hour. The nearest station, Beit Yehoshua, is a few minutes' drive away and serves the coastal line to Tel Aviv and Haifa, while Kavim buses have linked the town to Netanya, Kfar Saba and neighbouring localities since 2014. Kfar Yona has no station of its own, but its residents use Beit Yehoshua, one of the busiest stations in the Sharon. The town centre brings together local shops, municipal services and the community centre, which runs a music conservatory, classes and cultural activities. Families value the Hadar, Rimon and Amal primary schools, the Bar Ilan religious school and the Ish Shalom high school, as well as the municipal water park, very popular in summer. The Ilanot Forest and the Kadima nature reserve, just nearby, offer walks among the trees and, in spring, carpets of flowers. Kfar Yona's property market is split between resale homes, detached houses and small buildings in the historic neighbourhoods, and new build, with recent projects such as Sarona and Savyoney HaSharon offering 3 to 5-room apartments, garden apartments and penthouses. No reliable public reference exists for the price per square metre: IsraelStart therefore publishes no price per square metre for Kfar Yona and invites every buyer to compare recent transactions and use the budget simulator before deciding. Demand is driven by Sharon families, young couples leaving the big cities and a growing French-speaking community, drawn by the village atmosphere and the proximity of Netanya. Buying in Kfar Yona means choosing a human-scale, green and family town, twenty minutes from Netanya's beaches and half an hour from Tel Aviv.

  • An affordable alternative to Netanya: A few minutes from Netanya, Kfar Yona offers more spacious homes and a greener setting, generally for a lower budget than Netanya's waterfront. This is the main argument for the families who move here.
  • A village way of life: Despite its growth, Kfar Yona has kept a village atmosphere: quiet streets, neighbours who know each other, an active community life and neighbourhood festivals. Those fleeing the bustle of big cities find what they are looking for here.
  • Recent new-build projects: Recent neighbourhoods such as Sarona and Savyoney HaSharon offer new apartments with balconies, parking and lifts, built to current standards, with modern finishes and shared green spaces.
  • Close to everything, without the drawbacks: Netanya's beaches in twenty minutes, Tel Aviv in half an hour, the Ilanot Forest on foot: Kfar Yona combines proximity to the main employment and leisure centres with the calm of a small residential town.

  • A growing French-speaking community: Kfar Yona attracts more and more French-speaking olim, drawn by the village atmosphere, the proximity of Netanya and its French-language services.
