With Tel Aviv’s population increasing rapidly, the ‘Garden City’ grew quickly throughout the 1930′s and 40′s. With its lovely white Bauhaus buildings (designed by German immigrants), the Old North’s unique urban architecture was recognized by UNESCO and declared as a world heritage site.
Its main streets are easily recognizable – Dizengoff, Ben Yehuda, Nordau Blvd., Jabotinsky, Arlozorov, Ben Gurion Blvd. and Gordon; with Ibn Gvirol to the east, the HaYarkon river to the north, the shoreline to the west and Frishman to the south.
The streets of the old north are vibrant and exciting, filled with young professionals, couples and families. This northern neighborhood has the best of what Tel Aviv has to offer; cafés, restaurants, bars, night life, and beaches (like the famous Mezizim beach) and of course shopping. Yet despite all the activity, it remains a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood.
