Tel Aviv’s Architecture

In 2003 UNESCO declared the city of Tel Aviv as a World Cultural Heritage site. Owing to over 4,000 Bauhaus buildings, it has the densest concentration of Bauhaus architecture in the world.

Unfortunately, the upkeep of these buildings isn’t always up to standard, and a clear result of this neglect is the simple fact that the “White City” isn’t really white, but rather gray.

In the older parts of the city, you can find an abundant of buildings taking you all the way back to the early 1900’s, and along with heavy new construction, gentrifications is taking place and can be seen mainly in the Lev Ha’ir neighborhood.

If you’re coming from Europe or North America, you will probably find the post-Bauhaus architecture to be a bit shocking, with grey-brown like buildings with pillars built in the 1960’s and 70’s. Regardless to how old, neglected and not appealing, finding a good piece of real estate mainly in the central Tel Aviv area, is hard to find.
