Or Yam covers an area of 1060 dunams (265 acres) between the Orot Rabin neighborhood, the beach road, Palim junction and Highway 4. The neighborhood is part of a joint venture with the Caesarea Development Company in cooperation with the Or Akiva Municipality. The neighborhood includes a diverse and superior residential complex, with a park that runs along its entire length and a meticulously planned and developed living environment which combines many public areas, alongside a wide range of excellent educational, community and commercial services.
One of the guiding principles behind the neighborhood’s planning was the establishment of an independent education system with 4 educational complexes, including schools and kindergartens, which can be reached in a safe and convenient way via pedestrian paths and without having to cross any roads. The infrastructure will be developed so that the maximum distance to elementary schools will be no more than 350 meters. In the future, a faculty of medicine is also expected to be built in the area.
The neighborhood is designed so that almost half of it will be surrounded by green areas. Also planned are two ecological lakes , a nearby country club, a fitness and sports center, commercial areas and a wide variety of entertainment and leisure options. All of this is in addition to the sports fields, a bicycle adventure park, community gardens, playgrounds, dog parks and more, all of which will enrich the area even more.
Also planned are a number of commercial centers covering an area of approximately 50,000 square meters which will serve the neighborhood and its residents. These will also be accessible by the pedestrian and bicycle path systems, providing convenient, fast and safe access. In addition to the comfort, safety and the high quality of life that the project offers its residents, these additions also guarantee a rich community life, with a multitude of possibilities for friendly get-togethers between residents and the development of new friendships.
