Agamim — a Modern Residential Neighborhood in Netanya Near the Lake and Park
A quiet family-friendly area, modern buildings and convenient access to Ir Yamim, Poleg and southern Netanya
About the Neighborhood
Agamim is a modern residential neighborhood in the south-western part of Netanya, located near Shlulit HaHoref Park and the natural area around the winter lake. The name "Agamim" means "lakes" in Hebrew, which reflects the area's connection to green spaces and the nearby body of water.
The neighborhood developed actively during the 2000s and 2010s and is now considered one of Netanya's notable modern residential areas. Most buildings here are contemporary, with elevators, underground parking, safe rooms, balconies and well-maintained shared spaces.
Agamim suits people who are looking for a quieter residential environment than the city center, while still remaining close to urban infrastructure, shopping areas, schools, kindergartens and main exits toward Poleg, Ir Yamim and major roads.
Prices and Market
Agamim is considered one of Netanya's more expensive and sought-after residential neighborhoods, especially among families looking for modern buildings, parking, an elevator, a safe room and a calm living environment.
Prices depend on the apartment size, floor, condition, balcony, parking, view and the specific street. Most available properties are 4–5 room apartments, while penthouses and larger apartments in good buildings are usually priced significantly above the city's average level.
The rental market in Agamim is also active, especially among families and long-term tenants who value a quiet area, a modern building and convenient infrastructure. Actual rental prices vary depending on the apartment's condition, size, floor, parking and proximity to the main points of the neighborhood.
Infrastructure
Agamim is close to the commercial and service areas of southern Netanya, including Ir Yamim and Poleg. Nearby you can find supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, sports facilities, schools, kindergartens and green areas for walking.
One of the main advantages of the neighborhood is its proximity to Shlulit HaHoref Park and the open spaces around the lake. This makes the area convenient for walks, families with children and people who prefer a calmer, greener urban environment.
For reaching the beach and the city center, it is usually more convenient to use a car, bicycle or public transportation. Agamim has less pedestrian urban activity than central Netanya or the neighborhoods closer to the promenade, but it offers a quieter atmosphere, newer buildings and a more organized residential setting.
Religious or Secular?
In general, Agamim is perceived as a mostly secular neighborhood with a calm family atmosphere. It is home to Israeli families, new immigrants, long-term tenants and buyers who value modern buildings, good infrastructure and a quieter environment.
The neighborhood does not feel like a tourist area and is quite different from the city center. There is less street noise, less nightlife and more of a stable residential feel.
