TLV Guide

Jaffa is the oldest part of Tel Aviv, and is indeed one of the world’s oldest cities. Home to historic Ottoman era homes, lovely alleyways with artist’s shops, and some of the best food in all of Israel, Jaffa is truly one of Tel Aviv’s most unique places to live.

While Central Tel Aviv is best known for its quaint small streets and Bauhaus buildings, the Northern edge of the city is best known for its new construction, high rise buildings, landscaped public spaces, private villas, and an overall suburban feeling. Don’t be fooled, however, by how North Tel Aviv’s lush neighborhoods look, they are much indeed part of the city and are located anywhere from a 5-15 minute drive from the center.

Kikar HaMedina and its surrounding neighborhood are well known as one of Israel’s most prestigious areas to live, and indeed some of Tel Aviv’s most expensive residential and retail real estate can be found on its streets.
