Ir Yamim in southern Netanya offers something many newcomers are searching for — community, quality of life, and an everyday rhythm that makes the move feel less like a leap and more like a landing.
Ir Yamim is located in southwestern Netanya near the coastline, designed as a modern residential neighborhood.
Ir Yamim has an established English-speaking Orthodox and Modern Orthodox community, with approximately 150 families, primarily from the United States, Canada, South Africa, and England.
The goal isn’t to create a bubble — it’s to make the transition easier while still living in a real Israeli neighborhood.
One of the reasons Ir Yamim works well for newcomers is how walkable and convenient everyday life can be. Depending on your location, the beach is typically about 5–20 minutes on foot.

This kind of daily convenience matters when you’re building a new routine in a new country.
Ir Yamim offers strong access within Netanya and beyond, making it practical for families who want quality of life without losing connection to the center of the country.

Ir Yamim is not just a neighborhood I work in — it’s where I live and participate actively in both the Anglo and Israeli communities.
When my wife made Aliyah, she struggled at first to find friends who spoke her language and understood her American background. One Shabbat, while walking through the neighborhood, we came across the American Tefilat Yamim Minyan — and from that moment, everything changed.
She was welcomed openly and naturally. That experience captures what Ir Yamim represents for many families.
Ir Yamim is considered one of the higher-priced neighborhoods in Netanya. The first “ring” of the neighborhood is premium, while nearby areas can offer more flexibility for families with different budgets.
