Since 2015RS Nadlan has worked in North Tel Aviv and the villa neighborhoods

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, and it guides deals in the city’s villa neighborhoods. Our offices are in Ramat Aviv Gimel. Tzahala is one of the few areas of Tel Aviv that have remained almost entirely ground level homes: quiet streets, large gardens, houses passed down from family to family, and only about a dozen deals a year in total. In a market like this, whoever knows the homes and their owners gets there first. We guide buyers and sellers in Tzahala with complete discretion, including Off Market properties that are not advertised on listing sites.

01 · The character of the neighborhood

The unique character of Tzahala

Tzahala was the first neighborhood established as part of the housing projects for career soldiers, through the army’s housing administration. Because it was the first neighborhood for senior army officers, its inauguration in 1951 was attended by Prime Minister and Defense Minister David Ben Gurion and Chief of Staff Yigael Yadin, who also came up with the name “Tzahala,” after Tzahal, the IDF. In 1952 the neighborhood was annexed to Tel Aviv.

The original construction included about 500 single story ground level homes, of 60 to 124 sqm, on half dunam lots, most of them single family homes. Over the years most of the homes were expanded and upgraded, and many were replaced with modern villas. Even today, 94% of the buildings in the neighborhood are one or two stories.

According to reports, over the years Tzahala was home to Moshe Dayan, Yitzhak Rabin, Ariel Sharon and Chaim Herzog. Today it is home to some of the country’s top business figures, and is considered one of the wealthiest and most prestigious neighborhoods in Israel. It is bordered by HaMishtala to the north, Moshe Sneh Street to the west, Dvora HaNevia Street to the south and Neve Sharet to the east, and its main street is Tzahal Street.

Yarkon Park, the museums and open spaces

The homes on the northeastern edge of Tzahala border the open spaces of Ramat HaSharon, and to the south stretches Yarkon Park, 3,750 dunams of lawns, paths and lakes, which begins at the employment zone of neighboring Ramat HaHayal.

To the west, across the Ayalon Highway, is Ramat Aviv’s museum complex: the Eretz Israel Museum at 2 Haim Levanon Street and the Palmach Museum at 10 Haim Levanon Street. And on the western border of the neighborhood, along Moshe Sneh Street, lies the Kiryat Shaul Military Cemetery, founded in 1951.

Buses and rail

The neighborhood’s bus stops are along Moshe Sneh, Tzahal Street, Dvora HaNevia and Bnei Efraim. Tel Aviv University train station, with lines to Jerusalem, Beersheba, Nahariya and Netanya, is a short drive away.

On the northeastern branch of the Green Line, Neve Sharet and Dvora HaNevia stations are planned, on the edges of the neighborhood. According to the municipality, the Green Line is expected to start operating in 2030.

As in other villa neighborhoods, in Tzahala a private car is part of life. The advantage: there is no through traffic, and the inner streets are quiet almost all day long.

09 · Why RS Nadlan

A real estate agency in Tzahala that knows how to keep things discreet

An RS Nadlan broker guides a couple of clients on a tour of a private home in Tzahala

In a neighborhood where fewer than 15 deals close each year, every deal is a story of its own: a half dunam lot versus a one dunam lot, an original house versus a new villa, unused building rights, and a border with open space that changes the value.

RS Nadlan has worked in North Tel Aviv since 2015, guides deals in the city’s villa neighborhoods and holds a quality database of buyers and unadvertised properties. We work with complete discretion, from the first meeting to the handing over of the keys.

Anyone looking for a broker in Tzahala needs someone who knows how to read a lot: half a dunam versus a larger lot, an original single story house versus a new villa, and building rights not yet used. Real estate brokerage in Tzahala with us covers the sale and purchase of private homes and luxury properties, a valuation based on the few deals recorded in the neighborhood, and pricing that also takes registration delays into account.

For anyone planning a home sale in Tzahala, we offer exclusive brokerage with a discreet marketing plan, and sometimes a quiet sale as an Off Market property, approaching buyers from our database directly. For buyers, we find villas and homes for sale in Tzahala, and recommend starting with the guide to buying a private home in Tzahala. We also work as a real estate agency in Ramat HaSharon, whose open spaces border the neighborhood.

10 · Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about living and brokerage in Tzahala

How much does a private home in Tzahala cost?

The range is very wide. In the September 2026 listings, a 7 room, 250 sqm house is offered at ₪7.95 million, and a new 8 room villa at ₪19.6 million. Quality villas trade at ₪20 to ₪25 million, and the record deal, a 728 sqm villa on HaShoshanim Street, closed at about ₪62 million.

What is the difference between Tzahala, Ganei Tzahala and Ramot Tzahala?

Tzahala itself is the original private home neighborhood from the 1950s. Ganei Tzahala, north of Tzahal Street, was built in the early 1970s with 4 and 6 story apartment buildings and later ground level homes. Ramot Tzahala, south of Tzahal Street, has apartment buildings of up to 3 stories from the 1970s alongside ground level homes.

Which school serves Tzahala?

Tzahala Elementary School at 3 Asael Street, with about 486 students, serves Tzahala, Ganei Tzahala, Ramot Tzahala and HaMishtala. The school runs gifted programs in science, arts, math and English.

Why are there so few deals in Tzahala?

Most residents hold on to their homes for decades, and the neighborhood is almost entirely ground level homes, with no large apartment buildings. So only 12 to 13 deals close each year, and some homes are sold through direct approaches without being advertised.

How do I contact a broker in Tzahala?

RS Nadlan’s 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.

How do you choose a recommended broker in Tzahala?

It is worth choosing someone who knows the streets and the lots, from Tzahal Street to HaShoshanim, and knows how to distinguish between the value of the land and the value of the existing house. Ask for pricing based on registered deals rather than asking prices, a discreet, 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 Tzahala also knows buyers who are searching quietly, because some homes here are sold without being advertised.
