Frequently asked questions
Does it work as a main residence, not only a second home?›
Yes for households working in Haifa, the northern Sharon or remotely. Daily commuting to Tel Aviv is possible but long, and it is the single factor that decides most files here.
Are historic houses a good idea?›
They carry the strongest identity and the strongest renovation constraints. Preservation rules, structure and permitted works must be checked before the price is even discussed.
