We were so happy to leave our multi-family rental for our purchased single-family house, but we were grateful for the opportunity of the low-cost rental until we decided to purchase. In hilly regions, like the one in which I live, many houses are built into the hills, which allows multi-family dwellings private yards and gardens on multiple levels.<br />As a tactical move, when many families move into rentals, and later want to purchase single-family houses, the pressure does help with obtaining building permits, especially if the families have grown to the point where the rental units are very cramped. I wouldn't want high-rises in my community, but the 3-4 family houses are quite attractive. They genuinely look like large villas.<br />As far as schools are concerned, one of the teachers at the girls' school in Elon Moreh is teaching some of her granddaughters, who live in three communities in the area. Did Ohel Shiloh start out like Nahalat Tzvi in Elon Moreh, with one building divided down the middle splitting the school into a boys' half and a girls' half?Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-15295161626827662982011-06-19T08:26:37.452+03:002011-06-19T08:26:37.452+03:00I loathe multi-family apartment buildings in Israe...I loathe multi-family apartment buildings in Israel.
