Em Ha`moshavot – Introduction
Em Ha`moshavot, officially named Hadar Ha`moshavot is a neighborhood located to the north west of Petah Tikwa, near the industrial hi-tech area Kiryat Areh, the Yarkon cemetery, road no. 5 and the Tikva interchange, not far from the Belinson hospital, Schneider hospital and the Petah Tikwa shopping mall. Em Ha`moshavot includes the old Em Ha`moshavot neighborhood that was built in the 90s. The new Em Ha`moshavot neighborhood includes a number of new projects, including the Lev Ha`Savyonim project and others such as Ilanot, Hefziba, Alef Dori, Gindi plus a few smaller contractors. Most of the buildings are 9 to 23 stories tall. The population mostly consists of young couples with children, at a high socioeconomic status. The neighborhood boundaries in the west are Rishon Letzion St., in the north the railroad toward Rosh Ha`ayin and Sagula, in the east Finestein and the Yarkon cemetery, and in the south the Achim Isralit and Gisin st.

Em Ha`moshavot has good transportation access being near to road no. 5 and the Geya interchange that connects the Em Ha`moshavot and Petah Tikwa to Hod Ha`Sharon, Raanana, Hertzliya and North Tel Aviv. The new nearby train station in Kiryat Areh and short distance from Geha Highway (road No. 4) has made the neighborhood accessible and popular for families looking to live in the center of Israel near Tel Aviv and still pay reasonable prices for real estate property.

Currently there are 2 schools in the neighborhood (a) Ahud Manor and (b) Naomi Shemer. An Open University branch is also located in the neighborhood .

This months spotlight is on the Lev Ha`Savyonim neighborhood in Petah Tikwa. This is not the commonly known neighborhood for overseas buyers or investors, but has certainly grown to become a local hot spot in the last two years. Lev Ha`Savyonim is part of the Em Ha`Moshavot area located to the north of Petah Tikwa, a minute or two from road number 5 and the Morasha junction.
