Herzliya Neighbourhoods Beyond Pituach: Nof Yam, Herzliya B, Gan Rashal and Neve Amirim

Herzliya Pituach gets the attention, but most of Herzliya's 110,000 residents live somewhere else. The city is a patchwork of neighbourhoods, each with its own housing and its own price level, and the differences between them matter a lot more to someone renting or buying than the city's overall reputation.

Here are four that come up again and again with families, professionals and people moving from abroad. Prices quoted are from Israeli property data and the press, with dates, since the market moves.

Nof Yam: villas by the cliffs

Nof Yam is in the north-west of the city, next to Herzliya Pituach and right by the Sidna Ali cliff, with the ruins of Apollonia just to the west. Its origins are modest. In the early years of the state it was the site of a transit camp for new immigrants, with makeshift huts and asbestos houses.

That past is hard to see now. Nof Yam is mostly detached houses, and villas on large plots are in high demand, with buyers also looking for land to build on. The neighbourhood has its own elementary school, called Nof Yam, and several synagogues, and residents range from young families to households that have been here for generations.

What it offers is the Pituach lifestyle at the quieter, northern end: the sea, the national park and the cliff walks nearby, without the hotel traffic.

Herzliya B: houses between the highway and the railway

Herzliya B, written Herzliya Bet in Hebrew, sits between Highway 2 on the west and the railway on the east, with the Shiv'at HaKochavim interchange to the south and Kfar Shmaryahu to the north. Its main street is Nordau.

It was built from the late 1960s, and most of it is detached single-family houses, with a few apartment buildings around the edges. A 2014 survey by the news site Ynet put its population at about 2,800, with a socio-economic rating of 9 out of 10, and described it as more expensive than most of Herzliya but cheaper than Pituach.

The location is its strongest point. The railway station is a few minutes' walk across a bridge, the Shiv'at HaKochavim mall is next door, and the marina and beaches are a short drive west. The neighbourhood has kindergartens, an elementary school, synagogues, a library, a community centre and a public swimming pool.

Gan Rashal: the moshav in the city

Gan Rashal is in the north of Herzliya, near Herzliya Park, and locals call it "the moshav in Herzliya" for its low-rise houses, old trees and quiet streets. It's close to Reichman University, the country club and the Shiv'at HaKochavim mall, and an easy drive to the Pituach business district and the beach.

It's now changing. The developer Prashkovsky is finishing four eight-storey buildings with 156 apartments, due for occupancy in 2026, and according to Israel Tax Authority data cited by the developer it was the best-selling project in Herzliya in 2023. At launch in 2024, three-room apartments there started at about 3.2 million shekels and five-room apartments at about 4.35 million.

Neve Amirim: towers in the south

Neve Amirim is a high-rise neighbourhood in the south of the city, west of Ben Gurion Street near the border with Ramat HaSharon. It was planned along the lines of Neve Avivim in north Tel Aviv: residential towers with guards and underground parking, some with sea views from the upper floors.

At its centre is a country club with classes and summer camps for children, and a small shopping centre with a supermarket, greengrocer and café. It suits families who want a large apartment with lifts and parking rather than a house and garden.

What it costs

At the end of 2025, the average apartment in Herzliya sold for about 3.97 million shekels, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. That made it the second most expensive city in Israel after Tel Aviv, though prices had slipped 2.2 percent over the year. A five-room apartment averaged about 4.43 million shekels in 2026. The property site Madlan put average rent across the city at about 8,800 shekels a month in October 2026.
