🇮🇱 Where to live in Rishon LeZion
Rishon LeZion spreads from a historic founders' core outward into distinct belts: veteran central quarters, a run of western sea-facing districts, eastern housing-block and hillside areas, and newer quarters in the north. The west is defined by proximity to the coast, while the two areas with rail access sit in the south and far west. Central quarters are older and built up; the northern and far-north-eastern quarters are more recent.
