Marina Quarter
Suits residents who want waterfront surroundings with dining and leisure at the marina on their doorstep rather than a quiet purely residential street.
Ashdod is organised into lettered quarters, and the differences between them are real rather than cosmetic. The western quarters sit on or near the coastline and include the oldest built areas and the marina district, while the southern and eastern quarters are generally newer, ranging from high-rise blocks to low-density single-family housing. Several quarters have a strongly religious character, others are mixed or built around Soviet-immigrant communities, and the north of the city is given over to the port and industry.
