Apartments in the Upper West project

What Upper West is

The project was built for buyers looking for a large modern apartment in western Rishon LeZion. It offers spacious 5-room apartments and mini penthouses.

The large panoramic windows give the apartments a great deal of natural light and a sense of open space, especially on the higher floors. A further advantage is the smart-home system, which lets the functions of the apartment be managed through modern automation.

It is precisely this combination of generous floor area, panoramic glazing and smart-home features that sets Upper West noticeably apart from the standard family projects of the city.

Panoramic windows: what they change in practice

Floor-to-ceiling glazing is not only an external effect. It changes how the apartment feels and how it is lived in:

• more natural light throughout the day
• a sense of space even at the same floor area
• the view becomes part of the interior rather than a picture in a window
• orientation matters more: south and west bring light and heat, north gives even illumination
• shading, air conditioning and the quality of the glazing units all count

Two apartments of the same size in the same building can therefore feel completely different. It is better to view an apartment like this in daylight, not only at sunset.

5-room apartments and mini penthouses

Upper West is aimed above all at the family buyer for whom space and a modern standard of housing matter.

In choosing a particular apartment, the floor, orientation, layout, balcony, parking spaces and how open the view is all count. The mini penthouses and upper-floor apartments are of particular interest, since that is where the panoramic glazing works best.

What drives price inside one project

The price gap between apartments in the same building can be substantial. The main factors:

• the floor and how open the view is
• the orientation of the windows
• actual floor area and layout
• the size of the balcony or terrace
• the number of parking spaces and storage
• the standard of finish and the condition of the apartment

So "the price per square metre in Upper West" is too broad a figure. What is worth comparing is specific apartments, not the project as a whole.

A new project or an established district

New projects in Rishon differ from established districts in two ways: a building with no wear, and neighbours who moved in at roughly the same time as you.

In return you pay more per square metre and get a district still growing into its full infrastructure. Whether that is worth the difference in price depends on what matters more to you, and it is exactly the conversation worth having before a viewing rather than after it.

Buying and letting in one project

Both a sale and a letting have passed through us in Upper West. In a project of this level that is normal: some apartments are bought to live in, others as an investment.

If you are considering buying with a view to letting, it makes sense to establish in advance which apartments in the project let better and on what terms. We can show the real picture for specific properties rather than average city statistics.

Our experience in Upper West

A sale, a letting and a mini penthouse have all passed through our hands here, so we know the project through specific apartments and not only through marketing material.

For a buyer we can help compare the available apartments inside Upper West with alternative projects in western Rishon LeZion.

Selling an apartment in the project

An owner needs to value the apartment correctly and highlight in the advertising exactly the features a buyer will pay for: the panoramic windows, the smart home, the floor area, a high floor and the modern standard of the project.

We analyse the competing offers inside the project itself, the genuine strengths of the apartment and the audience it appeals to. The marketing is built after that: a quality presentation, professional photography and video, online promotion, our own buyer base and work with other agents.

For owners living abroad

If you own an apartment in the project but live outside Israel, we can remain the point of contact for it: help with letting, finding tenants, viewings and day-to-day questions about the apartment. More on the Owners abroad page.

Where to start

If you are looking for a 5-room apartment or a mini penthouse in the project, leave your search parameters and budget and we will check what is available and explain how the apartments differ.

If you own an apartment in Upper West and are considering selling or letting, we can value it and organise its promotion. For comparison, other formats of western Rishon are close by: Ganei Rishon and Nahalat Yehuda with its private houses.
