Neighborhood Map of Yehud-Monosson — An Overview
Yehud-Monosson was formed in 2003 through the municipal merger of the city of Yehud with the local council of Neve Monosson. Today the city has approximately 31,800 residents — about 29,200 in Yehud and about 2,600 in Neve Monosson. Despite the administrative merger, the two parts maintain very different characters — Yehud is an urban city with mixed construction, while Neve Monosson remains a green, village-like community of private homes.
The city enjoys a strategic location at the heart of Gush Dan, at the intersection of major highways (Routes 461, 40, 4, and 6). The high accessibility to Tel Aviv (about 15 minutes by car), Ramat Gan, Petah Tikva, and major employment centers is one of the strongest advantages of living here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| City Center | Old apartments + renewal | ₪2.1–2.7M | Mixed, diverse | Lowest entry prices, near commerce |
| Kiryat Savyonim | Apartments + townhouses | ₪2.5–3.5M | Affluent families | High quality of life, mall |
| Kiryat Bialystok | Townhouses, semi-detached | ₪3.0–4.5M (houses) | Older families | Quiet, green spaces |
| Neve Oved | Mixed — apts & houses | ₪2.5–3.2M | Upper-middle class | Central location |
| Givat Uviya | Mixed — apts & houses | ₪2.7–3.5M | Families | In-demand neighborhood |
| Neve Efraim–Monosson | New apartments | ₪3.2–4.6M | High socioeconomic | New construction, strong community |
| Neve Monosson | Private homes, villas | ₪5.0–9.0M | Village-community | Green, quiet, schools, community |
- Yehud-Monosson comprises seven main neighborhoods with very different characters
- Price gaps of millions of shekels between the city center and Neve Monosson
- New neighborhoods (Gdot, Gani Yehuda) will transform the city map in coming years
City Center — The Historic Heart of Yehud
The city center is the oldest area of Yehud, characterized by older 3–5 story apartment buildings, narrow streets, and a diverse population mix. This is where commercial activity concentrates — shops, banks, clinics, and municipal services. The city center leads in Yad2 search volume with approximately 28,390 unique searches in the past year — a sign of sustained high demand.
Prices here are the lowest in the city: older 3-room apartments sell for ₪1.8–2.2 million, and 4-room apartments around ₪2.1–2.7 million. This is an attractive entry point for young couples and investors. The main downside — old construction, many buildings without elevators or safe rooms, and limited parking.
The good news: the city center is undergoing accelerated urban renewal. In the Ben-Zvi–Katznelson complex, 332 old apartments will be demolished and replaced by 1,154 new units in 14 buildings of 9–17 stories. In the Ashkenazi–Ha'Atzmaut complex, 114 old apartments will become 444 new units. The Mohliver project is already in execution — 72 old apartments demolished, 279 new units being built in four 13-story buildings.
- Lowest prices in the city — market entry point for young buyers and investors
- Accelerated urban renewal will transform the neighborhood in coming years
- High demand — most searched neighborhood on Yad2
- Challenge: old construction, lack of parking and elevators in some buildings
Kiryat Savyonim — Yehud's Flagship Neighborhood
Kiryat Savyonim was built in the 1990s and has established itself as the most expensive and sought-after neighborhood in the Yehud part of the city (excluding Neve Monosson). About 5,800 residents live here, characterized by a high socioeconomic profile. Construction is diverse — from high-rise residential buildings near the Savyonim Mall to townhouses in quieter sections.
Prices range from ₪1.4–1.6 million for a 3-room apartment (prices may have updated upward in 2026) to ₪3.0–3.5 million for penthouses and townhouses. Rental prices: 3-room ₪4,200–4,500/month, 4-room ₪5,000–5,200/month, townhouse ₪8,000–9,000/month.
Key advantages include proximity to Savyonim Mall for shopping and leisure, good schools in the area, relatively new infrastructure, and a quality population mix. The main downside is traffic congestion near the mall during peak hours and higher prices that may exclude budget-conscious young couples.
- Yehud's flagship neighborhood — high prices but quality of life to match
- Diverse housing mix: from small apartments to townhouses
- Near Savyonim Mall — commercial advantage, but also traffic congestion
- About 5,800 residents, high socioeconomic profile
Neve Monosson — A Village in the Heart of Gush Dan
Neve Monosson is a unique story in Gush Dan's urban landscape. A community settlement founded in 1953, with approximately 1,500 households — around 640 apartments and 860 private homes. It merged with Yehud in 2003 but maintains an entirely separate character: green streets, private homes with gardens, a close-knit community, and an education system considered excellent.
Prices in Neve Monosson are the highest in Yehud-Monosson — and justifiably so. A private home on a 500–670 sqm plot costs ₪5–9 million, depending on location, size, and condition. In early 2026, a 132 sqm apartment on Neve Monosson Street sold for ₪4.61 million. A 114 sqm apartment on the same street sold in December 2025 for ₪3.1 million. Rental for a private home: ₪10,000–15,000/month.
Supply in Neve Monosson is very limited — there are no land reserves for new construction, and most homes rarely come to market. When a property does become available, competition is significant. The location — 15 minutes from Tel Aviv — combined with excellent schools, green surroundings, and quiet atmosphere makes Neve Monosson highly desirable. Due to the limited supply, it's worth monitoring local listings and consulting a local broker or appraiser who knows the community.
- About 1,500 households: 860 private homes and 640 apartments
- House prices: ₪5–9 million — the highest in the city
- Very limited supply, no land reserves for new construction
- Excellent schools, green village character, close-knit community
- 15 minutes from Tel Aviv — a rare combination of quiet and accessibility
The Gdot Neighborhood — Yehud-Monosson's Future
The Gdot neighborhood is the project that will completely change the face of the city. This new neighborhood spans approximately 800 dunams and will include about 4,113 housing units (including a 300-unit assisted living complex), approximately 234 dunams of green spaces, and about 102 dunams for education and public facilities. It will be built between Yehud and Neve Monosson, along the banks of Nahal Ono.
Planning includes an underground pneumatic waste disposal system, playgrounds and sports facilities, daycare centers, kindergartens and schools, an innovative employment zone, and parking with electric vehicle charging stations. A second planned neighborhood — Magshimim — together with Gdot is expected to add approximately 7,300 housing units to the city.
The first project in the Gdot neighborhood — Riverside by Electra Residential — is expected to be occupied soon. Land prices stood at approximately ₪1.6 million per housing unit, indicating expected sale prices of ₪3.0–4.0 million for a new apartment. This is a long-term project with some areas still in planning, and timelines may change. Early purchases in new neighborhoods can offer good value, but also carry risks such as delays and uncertainty. If considering a purchase, check the latest project status on the municipality website and consult a local broker or appraiser.
- About 4,113 housing units on 800 dunams — the largest project in the city's history
- 234 dunams of green spaces, 102 dunams for education and public facilities
- Riverside by Electra Residential — the first project nearing occupancy
- Expected sale prices: ₪3.0–4.0 million for a new apartment
- Innovative planning: underground waste system, EV charging, employment zones
The Purple Line Light Rail — Impact on Neighborhoods
The Purple Line light rail (Dankal) is one of the most significant factors that will affect the real estate market in Yehud-Monosson in coming years. The line runs from the Hatayasim terminal station — near eastern Yehud — connecting the city through Kiryat Ono, Or Yehuda, and Ramat Gan to Tel Aviv. The route includes 43 stations along approximately 27 km, all above ground.
The Hatayasim station will include a depot for train storage and maintenance, a passenger station, a bus terminal, and a park-and-ride facility. Construction began in 2021, and while the original plan targeted 2026, the current timeline as of March 2026 points to a launch during 2028. Total estimated project cost: approximately ₪11 billion.
Impact on real estate: Experience from the Red Line in Tel Aviv shows that light rail's effect on apartment prices is complex — not necessarily an immediate spike, but improved accessibility attracts new populations and increases demand over time. For Yehud-Monosson, the Purple Line's impact is expected to be strongest in neighborhoods closest to the route — the city center and the Gdot neighborhood area. However, extensive new construction is also expected to increase supply, which may temper sharp price increases.
Important note: As of March 2026, the Purple Line timeline is subject to updates. Check the NTA website (nta.co.il) for current launch date information.
- The Purple Line: 43 stations, approximately 27 km, estimated cost ~₪11 billion
- Terminal station at Hatayasim Junction — park-and-ride and bus terminal
- Expected impact: increased demand, especially in the city center and Gdot neighborhood
- Red Line experience: impact on prices is complex and not immediate
