Property Description

This 105 m² renovated apartment on Sokolov Street sits in the HaYam beachfront strip, northern Bat Yam. The Mediterranean is 300 m away — a 4-minute walk. The seafront promenade with cafés and restaurants is 250 m from the front door. The property is move-in ready with no additional works required.

The apartment is laid out across 3 rooms by Israeli convention — living room plus 2 bedrooms. In Israel, room count always includes the living room. At 105 m², this is an oversized footprint for a 3-room secondary-market unit in this area. The 12 m² balcony extends the living zone. The built-in mamad (mamad — reinforced room compliant with Home Front Command requirements) is integrated into the floorplan. The apartment includes 2 full bathrooms and 3 toilets — an unusually high ratio for a 3-room format, practical for larger households. Air conditioning is installed. The unit is adapted for accessibility; full technical specification available on request.

The building is equipped with a lift, a security system, and a covered parking space on title. The nearest new-build reference on the same street is “Sokolov Al HaYam” (two boutique towers, 9–10 floors, 73 units), providing a direct comparable for the street’s new-construction pricing standard.

Location Analysis

Transportation

Sokolov Street is in Bat Yam’s northern coastal strip — the Ha’Atsma’ut / Tzafon Maarав district — 5 minutes’ walk from the Jaffa city boundary. The nearest Red Line metro station is Rothschild (#27): approximately 400–500 m, 5–7 minutes on foot. The Red Line connects Bat Yam directly to central Tel Aviv in 18–22 minutes. Bus stop (Dan/Egged lines along Ha’Atsma’ut Boulevard) is 200 m from the address. Highway 20 (Ayalon) access via Yoseftal Street.

Area Infrastructure

Beach and Mediterranean coastline: 300 m (4 minutes walk). Seafront promenade — 250 m. Clalit health fund clinic (Clalit — Israel’s largest HMO network): Sokolov Street 29, within walking distance. Sokolov Primary School (grades 1–6): within walking distance. The Jaffa boundary is 5 minutes north on foot, giving direct access to Jaffa’s restaurant and retail strip without needing transport.

Investment Perspective

The secondary market in Bat Yam’s northern coastal district (Ha’Atsma’ut / Tzafon Maarав) trades at ₪22,000–28,000/m² (Madlan, Q4 2025). Renovated units with a lift, mamad, and parking track toward the upper end of that band. Bat Yam’s overall market grew approximately 200% over the decade from 2014 to 2024 — among the highest appreciation rates across Gush Dan municipalities. Prices remain 35–40% below equivalent Tel Aviv stock, a gap that has been narrowing as transit infrastructure matures. The Red Line (opened August 2023), with Rothschild station approximately 500 m from this address, is a confirmed demand driver. Bat Yam ranked among Israel’s top-performing markets in early 2026, with the light-rail corridor tracking 3–6% annual appreciation. Rental demand on Sokolov Street: 3-room apartments are listed at approximately ₪7,300/month (Madadirot, 2025), indicating an indicative gross yield of 3.0–3.5%.

Practical Information

Arnona (ארנונה — annual municipal property tax): Bat Yam rates are lower than Tel Aviv. Estimated range for a 105 m² apartment: ₪4,700–6,000 per year (approximately ₪400–500 per month). Confirm the precise zone rate with the Bat Yam municipality using the exact street address.

Vaad bayit (ועד בית — monthly building maintenance fee): for a building with a lift and security in Bat Yam, the typical range is ₪300–600 per month. Confirm the current amount with the building management.

Mas rechisha (מס רכישה — purchase tax): calculated on the transaction price; the rate depends on the buyer’s status. New immigrants (olim hadashim — recent immigrants) benefit from a reduced bracket: 0% up to approximately ₪1,980,000 and 0.5% up to approximately ₪6,050,000. Confirm with a licensed Israeli attorney.

Mashkanta (משכנתא — mortgage): immigrants are eligible for residential financing with LTV up to 70% on a first purchase. Bank of Israel base rate: 4.25% (March 2026). New immigrants (olim hadashim) qualify for an arnona discount of up to 90% for the first 12 months of residency.
