Overview
Ra'anana is often called the most "Anglo" city in Israel. It's green, safe and well run, with Ahuza Street as its main high street and the large Ra'anana Park at its center.
Who lives here
Families above all. The religious makeup is mixed, and there's a large English-speaking population from the US, UK and South Africa.
Shuls & schools
Many English-speaking shuls across the city, plus excellent schools in both the state and state-religious systems.
Getting around
About 25 minutes by car to Tel Aviv off-peak, plus train access through nearby stations. The tech parks in Herzliya and Kfar Saba are close.
