The heart of Zichron and the historical epicenter of the town. The Aaronson Museum, the First Aliyah Museum, the historical Bet Knesset Ohel Yaakov, and other historical sites dot the landscape as you walk through the center of town. Each alleyway is steeped in its own rich history and if you come across the right local, they’ll be able to tell you all about it!

A close walk to shopping, cafes, synagogues, medical facilities and the pedestrian mall, it’s a great landing spot for people who want or need the ability to walk almost everywhere.

Housing options here range from freestanding houses to multi-family condominium developments.

Built adjacent to the Carmel winery (hence the name), it is a literal stone's throw away from the magnificent Park Hamoshava and Zichron’s new school complex. This neighborhood is perfect for those who want to have their kids walk to and from school!

Named after the Baron, this pastoral and rustic neighborhood occupies the southwest side of Zichron. Larger housing options, private yards, and extended privacy await you here. In some parts you are just a few minutes’ walk from the Ramat HaNadiv nature reserve and some beautiful walking and biking trails.  Neve HaBaron has two local shopping centers and its own little forest “tayelet” (walking path) occupying space within the forest running through its midst. There are a number of private neighborhood kindergarten options and a local synagogues.

Literally meaning the “Woodland Villas”, this neighborhood is nestled into Zichron’s northeastern hill, and is quiet, with rustic narrow streets. It’s in walking distance to the Horesh elementary school and ideal for families with cars who are looking for a sleepy part of town to settle into. The houses and plots of land are generally a bit larger here than in other parts of Zichron, offering more spacious options for larger families or for those who want a larger backyard to relax in. 

Occupying its own mountaintop at the northernmost point of Zichron, Givat Eden offers sweeping sea views. If you settle down here, you may need to drive to get to most locations in Zichron itself; but the views and the size of the houses make it worthwhile! Wide streets (a rare phenomenon in Israel) and multiple local parks, giving Givat Eden a real suburban atmosphere. The Horesh school sits just at the entrance making it an ideal location for families with kids in that school. 

Don't let the name fool you, it’s not for Yemenites only! Yemenite immigrants arriving in Zichron first settled here in the 1950s. Once a literal swampland, it is now one the most desired locations in Zichron. It is a culturally diverse area, a close walk to the center of town, features a variety of synagogues and parks, and an abundance of private freestanding homes. Officially it is part of the “Moshava” and contains a lot of rich history as well. It is not uncommon to find multi-generational families residing together or in houses on connected plots of land.

Situated on the southwestern edge of Zichron and bordering the tranquil Ramat HaNadiv nature reserve, this is one of the more modern neighborhoods of Zichron.

‘The Dream of Zichron’. Known by the locals as Halomot for short, sits on the southeastern outskirts of Zichron and is its own self-contained enclave, complete with unique parks, schools, stores, and synagogues. For those seeking a little adventure, the Israel trail is just meters away, offering walking, running, and biking trails, and even some areas for rock climbing! Halomot even has its own outdoor basketball court and skatepark. Zichron’s newest planned neighborhood, it combines apartment buildings and two-family houses. Some of the penthouses and upper floor apartments offer sweeping views of the neighboring forests and mountains.

This is another area sitting on the outskirts of Zichron. It is a completely mixed neighborhood, with old-timers, newcomers, secular and religious, and has a peaceful neighborhood charm all its own. There are a few small shops and health clinics in the neighborhood that is mostly made up of free standing or attached houses. If you are looking for a quiet area slightly off the beaten path, this neighborhood might just be for you!

This neighborhood has a large component of Haredi families, but with multiple buildings undergoing “Tama-38” renovations (the national building reinforcement and renovation program), a more diverse population has been moving into the outlying areas. A short walk to a local shopping center, health clinics, parks, and a multitude of synagogues make it an attractive destination. The neighborhood consists of an outer ring of apartment buildings encircling an inner ring of multi-family houses. 

The Mediterranean side of Zichron offers sweeping coastal views and spectacular sunsets. It’s an area with mostly large private houses and like some other areas of Zichron you will need a car to get to shopping areas and schools. Perhaps you have heard of the luxurious Elma Hotel? That’s also located in this beautiful neighborhood. The houses here are generally more luxurious than in other areas of town and, of course, they are priced to match. But remember, you really cannot beat those sunsets!

Remez, as it’s referred to by the locals, is a secluded area of Zichron sitting adjacent to the main road entering town from neighboring Binyamina in the south. Here you’ll find both modern housing, some older established structures, and even a house with a barn and horses! Remez is built around a beautiful park with a large central grassy area. With only a single road in and out, it is a particularly quiet area of Zichron with a special community feel. There are two synagogues in Remez which are both exceedingly warm and welcoming, with one of them offering herring and whiskey after Shabbos morning davening.

Zamarin is an old area of town sitting majestically just above the Carmel winery and is the original Zichron settlement. This small neighborhood consists of old stone houses and narrow alleyways. The beauty of the neighborhood is that it is entirely isolated from main streets, traffic, and people, but is only a 5-minute walk from the town’s the pedestrian mall.

This neighborhood is literally smack-dab in the middle of Zichron. It is entirely residential and comprises stand-alone and multi-family homes. Like most areas of Zichron, shops, clinics, schools, parks, and synagogues are all in close proximity.
