Neighbors


When examining the life of a typical family in Holon, in the past 30 years, one can notice the change in housing trends:
A young couple starting their family life in the 1960's had their first apartment in the SHIKUN AMAMI.
As the family expanded and the standard of living went up, the SHIKUN AMAMI apartment could not accommodate the family's needs. Then, in the 1980's, they moved to newly built neighborhoods, such as KIRIAT SHARET. The building typology has changed: the buildings were higher and the apartment's bigger ("H" typology).
Today, after their children have moved out, couples in their 50's-60's are moving again. Looking for higher building standards, they are moving to smaller (yet better looking) apartments in the new H-300 neighborhood.
