Living the Israeli Dream without busting the budget

According to a recent poll, most Israelis yearn for a private house with a garden. That's eminently achievable, but you'll have to make geographic compromises.


Where would most people in Israel live if they had their druthers? Our dream home remains, as it has long been, a private house with a garden in a small community or country environment.

About 75% of 305 respondents in a Panels survey of a representative national sample on behalf of TheMarker said they would live in a single-family home if budget wasn't a factor - and 56% of those said they preferred a rural village or small town. The dream, apparently, isn't far out of reach: Over 90,000 detached homes have been built in recent years. The problem is they're not always geographically within reach.
