Neighborhood Overview
Ramat Aviv occupies a unique position in Tel Aviv's geography and social fabric. Sitting at the northern edge of the city, this expansive neighborhood is anchored by Tel Aviv University and flanked by the Yarkon River to the south.
The neighborhood divides into two distinct characters: Ramat Aviv Gimel, home to the prestigious Ramat Aviv Mall and luxury high-rises, and the older Ramat Aviv with its established garden apartments centered around the university campus.
For Olim families seeking the Tel Aviv lifestyle without the intensity of the city center, Ramat Aviv delivers: excellent schools, abundant green space, cultural institutions like the Eretz Israel Museum and Palmach Museum, and a community that values education and quiet prosperity.
