Distinctive apartments for sale in Florentin, south Tel Aviv
Florentin is in the south of Tel Aviv, below Herzl Street and east of Neve Tzedek, where the city meets Jaffa. It was laid out from 1927 by David Abarbanel and the builder Shlomo (Salomon) Florentin, who had come from Thessaloniki and gave the quarter his name, and its first residents were immigrants from Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, North Africa and Bukhara.
It was planned from the start to hold homes together with crafts, small industry and trade: in 1933 the Jaffa municipality allowed shops and workshops on the ground floors of new residential buildings, and garment and furniture workshops filled the streets. A municipal renewal plan from 1991, carried out mostly by private developers, brought renovated buildings, cafés, galleries and studios, and the low rents of those years brought the young renters and buyers who are much of the population today.

The homes
Three- and four-story buildings from the late 1920s and the 1930s, eclectic and International Style, on narrow streets, many of them with a workshop or a shop at street level. Two- and three-room apartments are the common stock, alongside renovated buildings, new boutique buildings on old plots and roof apartments. Part of the quarter has been through renewal and part has not, street by street.
What buyers look for
A lower entry price than the city center with the center still within walking distance, a building worth renovating, and the character of the old streets. Parking, an elevator and a safe room (ממ״ד) are the first questions to ask: most of the older buildings have none of the three.

Questions buyers ask
What does a distinctive apartment in Florentin cost per m²?
Across the 3 homes for sale in Florentin that we list now with a published price and size, asking prices run from ₪40,700 to ₪68,900 per m², with a median of ₪55,600. These are asking prices, not transaction prices. The final price depends on the floor, the view, parking, the state of the building and the outdoor space; for a figure on a specific home, ask us for a valuation.
What did homes in Florentin actually sell for?
From the whole-home sales reported to the Israel Tax Authority between 29.10.2024 and 29.10.2026: a median of ₪56,700 per m² over 145 sales, the middle half between ₪48,600 and ₪64,200 per m². In 2015 the median was ₪32,400 (+67% since). A given home's price depends on its floor, view, condition and parking.
Is Florentin a quiet place to live?
Parts of it are not. It is a working quarter as much as a residential one: workshops, bars and the Levinsky market bring traffic, deliveries and night noise, and the streets along HaAliya and Shalma Road are far busier than the lanes inside. Walk the exact street on a weekday morning and again late on a Thursday before you decide.
How do you get from Florentin to the rest of the city?
Rothschild Boulevard, Neve Tzedek and the beach are a walk or a short ride away. Two stations of the light rail Red Line, which opened in August 2023, sit on the edges of the quarter: Elifelet to the west and Shalma to the south. Park HaMesila, the linear park on the old Jaffa railway line, runs along the same western side.
What should a buyer check in an old Florentin building?
Whether the apartment has a safe room and parking, which most older buildings here do not; the state of the roof, the plumbing and the foundations; whether the building is listed for conservation or sits inside a renewal plan, both of which are written in the municipal building file; and, in a building with workshops below, which commercial uses are permitted and how they are registered.
Can buyers from abroad buy here?
Yes, foreign residents can buy apartments in Tel Aviv-Yafo much as Israelis do. The main difference is purchase tax: a buyer who is not an Israeli resident usually pays it at the rates for an additional apartment, not the lower first-home rates. Check the figures with an Israeli real-estate lawyer before you sign; we work with buyers abroad through the search, the negotiation and the signing.
