Ashkelon offers an accessible and dynamic rental market, 50 km south of Tel Aviv and 15 km north of Gaza. A seaside city with 12 km of beaches, it attracts families, retirees, executives and a large French-speaking community. Rents are 20 to 30% lower than Ashdod for equivalent space, making it a relevant choice for a first lease or moderate budget.
