Tel HaShomer

Tel HaShomer is a residential neighborhood east of Tel Aviv combining apartment buildings, green spaces, and healthcare facilities throughout its urban area. Military structures and institutions form a defining part of the landscape across the entire district.

Founded in 1934, the neighborhood initially welcomed Jewish immigrants from Germany and Poland before transforming into a strategic military base. This shift from residential settlement to a major military center defined its entire development trajectory.

The neighborhood maintains deep ties to Israeli military heritage through its active IDF facilities and training institutions that remain visible throughout the area. These elements continue to shape how locals and visitors experience the place today.

The neighborhood is home to Sheba Medical Center, one of Israel's largest hospital complexes offering comprehensive healthcare services to the region. Visitors should note that healthcare facilities serve as key landmarks when navigating through the area.

The area is undergoing significant transformation with plans to convert military structures into thousands of new residential units. This major shift in land use represents a turning point that will reshape the neighborhood's character and future.
