Haifa rentals — apartments for rent in the capital of the north

Haifa, Israel's 3rd city (285,000 inhabitants), is the economic and university capital of the north. Its rental market is one of the most accessible in the country among major cities: rents are 40 to 50% lower than Tel Aviv for equivalent quality. The city attracts students (Technion, University of Haifa), high-tech executives (Matam, Intel, Google) and families appreciating the sea view, wooded Carmel and a unique Jewish-Arab mixed atmosphere in Israel.

The lease follows standard Israeli rules: 12 months, Shtaroth Bitachon, 1-3 month deposit. The rental offer is vast and diversified — Haifa has very different neighborhoods in style, altitude and standing. You must target well according to your profile and workplace.
