Overview
Kfar Saba sits right next to Ra'anana in the Sharon region, with the same leafy, family-friendly feel at a somewhat gentler price point. It's less of an Anglo enclave than its neighbor, but still has an established, growing English-speaking community.
Who lives here
A broad mix of secular, traditional and religious Israeli families, plus a growing number of English-speaking olim who find it more affordable than Ra'anana while staying close to it.
Shuls & schools
A full range of shuls and schools, including state-religious options with English-speaking staff and students.
Getting around
About 30 minutes to Tel Aviv by car or train; Ra'anana, Herzliya and the Sharon's other towns are all nearby.
Good to know
The city center and older neighborhoods are walkable and well served by cafés and shops, closer in feel to Ra'anana than its lower average prices suggest.
