🇮🇱 Where to live in Haifa

Haifa's residential areas are stacked in layers up a hillside, and the layer matters more than anything else. The lower city holds the port, the Arab market quarters and the Templer houses at the foot of the Bahá'í Gardens; the mid-slope is old centre and dense residential streets; the upper Carmel is where the villas, leafy districts and the hilltop shopping hub sit. A separate western strip runs along the coast, with beaches and the marina.
