🇮🇱 Where to live in Beer Sheva

Beer Sheva's housing splits roughly into three kinds of area: the historic core and the lettered neighbourhoods that grew around it from the 1950s onward, the western and southern districts of detached and private homes, and newer parcels still filling in. Density varies widely, from the pedestrianised Old City and the high-rise towers of Neve Zeev to garden-city streets of two-storey houses. Only a few neighbourhoods sit within a short walk of a rail station.

Which area suits whom

Old City

Suits someone who wants shops and restaurants at street level in a pedestrianised historic centre, with Beer Sheva Center station about seven minutes' walk away.

Shchuna Dalet

Fits students and university staff, since Ben-Gurion University's campus sits inside the neighbourhood and Beer Sheva North station is an eight-minute walk.

Neot Lon

For households wanting a detached home in a western district laid out around woodland.

Neot Avraham

Built in the 2000s as a Religious-Zionist community, so it suits families looking for that specific community setting.
