Jerusalem District
Mevaseret Zion
The green hilltop suburb at the entrance of Jerusalem, ten minutes from the city on Highway 1 and forty from Tel Aviv. Low-rise houses, forest views and a large Anglo community make it the default landing point for many overseas buyers of the Jerusalem corridor.

Frequently asked questions
Mevaseret or Jerusalem itself?›
Mevaseret buys space, quiet and parking; Jerusalem buys walkability and central neighbourhoods. For the same budget the square metres here are typically larger, the lifestyle more car-dependent.
Is it suitable for a pied-à-terre from abroad?›
It works well for families who use the property several times a year and want space near Jerusalem, less so for short-term rental strategies, which are limited here.
