Views from East Talpiot
East Talpiot sits on a ridge facing the Old City, and some apartments there enjoy direct views of the walls, the Temple Mount area and the Mount of Olives.

Due Diligence for Premium Purchases
For new construction, your Israeli lawyer should review the developer's contract, specifications, payment protections and delivery terms. For older buildings, review title, permits and any renewal agreements. An engineer should inspect the apartment and common areas. Ask about planned construction that may affect views.
Financial Planning
Consult an Israeli tax advisor about purchase tax and future considerations, and a US CPA about American reporting, currency transfers and estate planning. For larger purchases, plan the timing of payments and currency conversion carefully with your bank and advisors.
