Living in Ir Yamim: luxury, tranquility and modernity
1. Upscale coastal urban design & refined lifestyle
Developed in the early 2000s, Ir Yamim has become Netanya’s showcase of seaside luxury. Recent projects like “Yama” and “Sea You” feature modern towers of 17 to 24 floors, with spacious apartments (3 to 6 rooms) and sea-view penthouses. These residences offer high-end amenities—central air conditioning, Shabbat elevators, underground parking, and safe rooms—meeting the expectations of discerning buyers.
The neighborhood’s layout emphasizes sea proximity, with wide tree-lined boulevards, landscaped parks, and bike lanes. It blends the serenity of a resort with excellent connectivity to the city center and major highways.
2. Infrastructure, education & vibrant community life
Only 600 m from Poleg Beach, Ir Yamim attracts beach lovers and families seeking calm, away from the city center’s bustle. Its “Canyon” mall includes international stores, cinemas, and cafés. The extension of the municipal Conservatory brings music and arts closer to residents.
Education is well served—from secular and religious schools to language ulpans for Hebrew learners. Healthcare options are nearby, and every building tends to include gyms, pools, and spas.
The neighborhood fosters community life with coworking spaces, social clubs, and workshops, appealing especially to expatriates and French-speaking families. Cultural events organized by local groups and the Conservatory create a lively atmosphere year-round.
3. Premium real estate market & investment outlook
Netanya’s real estate market recorded a +12.4% YoY price increase in H1 2025, with a median price of ₪2,750,000 and over 2,500 transactions. In Q1, there were 1,260 sales at an average ₪24,400/m² (+13.3%).
In Ir Yamim specifically, apartments average ₪2.44 M, while sea-front penthouses reach ₪6.82 M (+17 % YoY), with cliffside units going up to ₪7.82 M. Average time to sell is around 52 days.
Mortgage lending remains strong—₪3.3 b in Q1 and ₪6.85 b in H1 2025—supported by favorable interest rates. This supports healthy investment returns through both long-term rentals and vacation lettings.
Rental market is robust: 4–5 room apartments often rent for over ₪8,500/month in projects like “Hanan Mor” or “Briga Yam”. The “Sea You” complex offers turnkey rental management for investors.
Netanya hosts a vibrant French-speaking community (approx. 34 %), drawing many francophone buyers to Ir Yamim. Its strategic location between Tel Aviv and Haifa, mild Mediterranean climate, and 14 km of beaches secure a bright future for the area.
