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).
Neighborhoods & Prices
Modi'in is divided into distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character. 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.
Average 4-bedroom: 2M-3.5M ₪.
