Givat Zemar in Haifa - 22,000 NIS per meter
Many residents go to inquire about prices in the Givat Zemar neighborhood, which is between the neighborhoods of Ramot Sapir, New Romema and Ramat Golda, and discover that apartment prices in the neighborhood range from 2-3 million NIS, for apartments of 4-6 rooms. Is there an explanation for the expensive prices? The real estate people claim that a new neighborhood in the city center is built once every 20 years, hence the enthusiasm.
When the preparation of the land and the construction of the Givat Zemar neighborhood began, many residents asked themselves how much an apartment in the new neighborhood would sell for and whether they would be able to afford to move to the new neighborhood. When the publications began, it turned out to be a very expensive neighborhood, despite its prominent topographical problems (a neighborhood that is built on a slope). We went to check what the explanation is for the expensive prices.
As I remember, years before the establishment of the neighborhood, the residents of the city did everything in their power to prevent the cutting down of the trees and the construction of the neighborhood. The struggle was very emotional, and ended with a number of protesters chaining themselves to trees and even a number of arrests were made, although the demonstrations were always approved.
"We resisted at first"
When the works started in the field and then the construction itself, some of the residents who opposed the neighborhood, changed their minds. "My husband and I were very opposed to the construction," says Sharon, who lives in Givat Oranim (the new Rommah), "we went to the demonstrations even though we knew that there was no way we would be able to change anything. When the neighborhood was already a fait accompli and we began to see from the window how the area was being leveled, my husband told me, let's move There. I didn't understand how we could move there, when we were so opposed, but my husband said that we wanted the neighborhood not to rise and it did, and now the right thing to do is to consider moving there."
Indeed, among the apartment buyers in Givat Zemar are many housing developers from the neighborhoods that surround the neighborhood. What is surprising is the high price at which the apartments are sold. There are real estate professionals who believe that the property is indeed worth the high price and others, who do not understand why to spend such high amounts.
The CEO and owner of Morg Properties, Real Estate Brokerage and Consulting, Ido Morg thinks that the units are worth the high price. "There is a lot of demand in the Givat Zemar neighborhood due to the fact that it is a new construction within the city itself and not on the outskirts of the city. It is important to understand that the neighborhood takes a good few years until it "stands on its feet" in terms of building infrastructure, playgrounds, etc. The residents who will settle in the first phase will have several years of construction work around them. Beyond that, I think that the population that buys there is of high quality and in the end, the neighborhood will be successful."
They waited a long time for her
"Givat Zemar is a neighborhood that has been waiting for a long time," explains real estate expert Eli Sheiner, "since the construction of the Ramat Hen neighborhood about 20 years ago, no new neighborhood has been built in the area in a phased construction such as Verdia, Almogi, etc.
The location of Givat Zemer in the heart of Haifa, close to everything, between established and good neighborhoods makes it extremely attractive for families, who want to improve their quality of life without leaving the environment. Also, many projects in Givat Zemer offer very spacious apartments, which are hard to find on the market, apartments with sizes of 150-170 square meters,
And no less important, it is the sea view that can be seen from a large part of the projects. Most of the apartments on the hill get 2 private parking spaces and this is also something very important for the comfort of living."
Shiner points out that the price level in the neighborhood is NIS 20-22,000 per square meter, which is a reasonable price for a luxury neighborhood like Givat Zemar. Also Givat Zemer is uniform in new houses, in a new texture wrapped in nylons and people thirsty for a new area in the location and close to everywhere. There is currently no neighborhood and area in Haifa under massive construction, hence the enthusiasm."
Exaggerated prices for apartments in the center of Neve Shanan. At such a price you can buy an estate with a quality of life 100 times higher than the smoky center of Haifa. hahaha I am buying a private house in a new settlement in Samaria / expanding to 200 families. The house is 115 square meters with the possibility of an addition built on 400 square meters at a ridiculous price of less than 1.4 million NIS (for a price of 3 million almost 850 thousand dollars I bought a 3-room building in Manhattan)
My former architect friend summed it up nicely like this:
"In Haifa and Tel Aviv we built cities in a mixed-use model once upon a time. That is why the center of Haifa and the center of Tel Aviv somehow function as an urban area. In the north of Tel Aviv and Carmel we built sleeping neighborhoods with a commercial center. That is why there is no "city feeling" north of Yarkon and there is no city in the center of Carmel. There are sleeping neighborhoods and boredom Architectural and urban. The only difference is that Haifa has neglected the urban center and removed employment from it, and economic demands dictate the opposite."
Pliman Slaughterhouse in the heart of Hasguna
The main thing is that the pigs (and female pigs) from there fled to Ramat Sapir and stayed there...
This neighborhood is crying for generations for several reasons:
1. An original Israeli forest of thousands of trees was cut down, when everyone knows what is happening with the climate crisis. Maybe some of the trees were copied, but as someone who is also in front of the hill and sees the destruction, it is clear that thousands of trees were destroyed. The subcommittee for planning and construction should check whether the contractors received compensation for the trees and whether the compensation was directed to planting trees at the same level as the trees that were uprooted
2. The neighborhood was planned for 850 units, with the concessions the neighborhood will reach about 1000 units. At the price level mentioned in the article with at least two cars per family, that means about 2,000 additional cars on the exit routes from the neighborhood. Quiet streets in Ramat Almogi, Givat Oranim and Ramat Sapir will become congested main thoroughfares.
3. There is no planning for public transportation in the neighborhood, no planning for institutions - health insurance, kindergartens, schools, this will put pressure on existing infrastructure in the nearby neighborhoods
4. Soil that has absorbed the rainwater on the hill will become a "concrete dress" which will only increase the flow of rainwater from the hill towards nearby neighborhoods. I have every hope that the reinforcement walls built on the slopes will last. There is no need to explain the pressure on the animals in the hill 0 pigs and jackals and more...
5. Last but not least, the neighborhood is used by the housing developers and not by those who really need it. The prices mentioned in the article do not really help the young couples.
Everything you mentioned was brought up in the objections meeting. and rejected with one excuse or another. Was it worth destroying a forest in the beginning just to enrich the contractors?
Terrible density of buildings and exorbitant prices. A quality population is looking for quality of life and not the density of a "sardine box".
I don't buy a Bamba bag in Haifa
A shallow marketing article by those with distinct interests in real estate brokerage. A steep neighborhood with accessibility and mobility only for those with combat fitness. A definite sleepy neighborhood, with no chance of creating a functioning community due to the difficulties of the topography.
Two birds with one stone: both the destruction of a green lung in an urban space, and excessive prices for the top decile (or for courses depending on who you ask) even without elementary and/or secondary school.
So a bunch of realtors think I should pay an exorbitant price for an apartment in a "luxury" neighborhood that is sandwiched between Ramot Ramez, Ramat Sapir and Romma? A steep and dense neighborhood on a hill in the middle of nowhere that is going to be a nightmare to get to? It's good that Wayne, they are certainly speaking completely honestly and are not at all trying to chain a few more coins to their private pockets. insurance.
A neighborhood squeezed between two neighborhoods. It is better to buy in Alamogi.
Response to Michael:
Another green lung that fell victim to the greed of real estate sharks.
Are these the same "You destroyed us - we have nothing to eat" protesters?
Invited article.
Public relations for a neighborhood that will be full of noise dust in another ten years.
An esoteric broker pushing his business
ugly and crowded
I also bought there, admittedly a little late and paid a much higher price than what is listed in the Essel article. I believe that the prices will continue to rise in Givat Zemar because it is a new neighborhood and the population that buys is of a very high quality
I don't understand why move from a wonderful neighborhood like Givat Oranim to a construction site in the next 10-15 years like Givat Zemer.
What's more, Givat Zemer includes very steep streets, further away from Harev and trade routes.
This is a bad neighborhood that arose in absolute sin. Instead of building a few towers with a few hundred apartments, they shaved off an entire hill
For a similar number of apartments and steep streets that public transport will have difficulty passing through.
To this must be added the lack of good schools in the area that are full. And the competition for the schools with my children
Slams Habiva Reich, where there is already a shortage of schools and kindergartens.
There is no doubt that Givat Almogi is better than Givat Zemer, and also a bonus - you don't have to live on a construction site until 2035.
It is more worthwhile to buy in Givat Zemar than in Dania in all respects, those who can afford it have earned a garden immersed in greenery as in songs
don't buy
Prices are falling
The prices are high because they have good and charming neighbors in the new Rumma
What is not clear ! High above the Carmel!
More the better !
