Israel's model city — perfectly planned between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

Modi'in: Urban Planning Excellence

Modi'in (100,000 residents) is Israel's newest and best-planned city, built from scratch in the 1990s between Tel Aviv (35 min) and Jerusalem (25 min). Every neighborhood was designed with parks, schools, commercial areas, and pedestrian pathways. The result is Israel's most livable city for families.

The city attracts Israel's educated middle and upper-middle class: hi-tech workers, professionals, and international families. The school system ranks among Israel's best. The city is connected by train to both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, with a major highway junction (Routes 1 and 431).

Modi'in is divided into distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character. Prices range from 20,000-35,000 ₪/sqm. Buchman/Moriah: Established, tree-lined. Avnei Chen: Premium, larger homes. Yashresh: Newest, modern. Modi'in Illit/Maccabim-Reut: Adjacent communities with different character and lower prices.
