Live on a Green Street

One of Givatay'im's "green blocks" is Shenkin Street. Nice gardening example in this side entrance.

Some new visitors to Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas are surprised by "all the green". Which is a bit strange these days. Maybe twenty years ago, when drip irrigation was unknown around the globe and when the "Green Line" did not have political connotation, that was excusable. But today this is not the case. A big part of Israel's quality of life effort goes to giving everyone the means to beautify their surroundings. While real estate agents do not promote this one factor heavily, apartment seekers favor green streets. In Tel Aviv and surrounding towns, municipalities are investing into "greening" public places and residential streets. When looking for an apartment to rent or buy in Tel Aviv, make the green factor into account. Once you start looking for these hidden gems, you will have a new perspective on Israel.
