Despite these hefty prices, there is also a lot of much more affordable housing suitable for mainstream Israel. Newcomers who view the apartment scene will most probably note that apartments here tend to be small. Since land is very expensive, the apartments are on the small side. Rooms are small, so that relative to the number of rooms, the floor area is not large. Most new houses are four rooms, which means a living room, three bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom but not separate entrance halls.
Some apartments have terraces.
Such an apartment will measure 110 sq. In Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, prices tend to the extremes. But now things have changed and the demand for small apartments, room-wise, is very small. The shortage of land makes units with small rooms a necessity. This is understandable, as there is a market for 2-room apartments.
