| Renting an apartment |
Rental fees in Israel vary greatly between different areas and cities: as of October 2006, the rental fee for a two-bedroom apartment ranged between $300 monthly in peripheral settlements to $1000 and more for an apartment in central Tel Aviv. Your personal absorption counselor can guide a suitable apartment according to your budget and needs.

Buying an apartment is quite popular in Israel. Many Israelis, including new immigrants, purchase apartments using the mortgage system based on either government or bank loans. New immigrants receive assistance in “eligibility points“ used to calculate the loan terms.
