The “kibbutz” of North Tel Aviv: a cooperative association, four story buildings around shared gardens, and one of the most close knit communities in the city
RS Nadlan is a real estate marketing and brokerage company working in Tel Aviv, Ramat HaSharon, Herzliya, Ra’anana and Kfar Saba, specializing in the neighborhoods of North Tel Aviv. Our offices are in Ramat Aviv Gimel. Maoz Aviv, north of the Yarkon and between Bnei Efraim Street and Refidim Street, is a neighborhood like no other in the city: a cooperative association of about 500 families that maintains all the open spaces, low rise buildings facing a shared garden, and a community life that has led residents of the area to call it a “kibbutz”. We know the neighborhood and the rules of the association, and we guide buyers and sellers all the way to the precise property, including Off Market properties that are not advertised on listing sites.
Maoz Aviv was founded in 1954 as housing for army and security forces personnel, for 742 families, and it was named by David Ben Gurion. The neighborhood and its buildings were designed by the architects Zeev Rechter and Moshe Zarhi, and Rechter won the Rokach Prize for the plan. By the end of 1956 a post office had already opened there, and a rabbi had been appointed.
The construction has been kept almost exactly as planned: 14 buildings that are members of the association and another 12 buildings outside it, all four stories high, and all facing a shared green space. The neighborhood is bounded by Mivtza Kadesh Street to the north, Bnei Efraim Street to the east and south, and Refidim Street to the west, which runs parallel to the Ayalon Highway and is separated from it by a dune.
What makes Maoz Aviv unique is the cooperative association, which brings together about 500 families and maintains all the open spaces. Residents pay it a monthly fee in addition to municipal property tax (arnona), and in return enjoy well kept lawns and an active community, with a community library, a community garden and a composting facility.

Buying in Maoz Aviv is different from buying in any other neighborhood: there is an association, there are bylaws, there is a monthly fee and there are shared spaces. In addition, whether the building is a member of the association, and the status of the preservation plan, directly affect the value.

The RS Nadlan offices are at Kashani 3G, Ramat Aviv Gimel, Tel Aviv. Visits by appointment only. You can leave your details in the form at the bottom of the page, and a real estate advisor will get back to you for an introductory call and more details.
It is worth choosing someone who knows the cooperative association and the neighborhood bylaws, from Refidim to Bnei Efraim, and who can explain how membership in the association and the preservation plan affect the price. Ask for pricing based on real deals, a written marketing plan for the exclusivity period, a transparent commission agreed in advance and a valid license (how to check a brokerage license). A good real estate agency in Maoz Aviv will also spell out the monthly fee to the association in advance.
An RS Nadlan representative will contact you about your inquiry. We have also sent a confirmation to the email address you entered.
