Tel Barukh North

In 1947, on the northern banks of the Yarkon River, a new neighborhood began to rise. Tel Baruch North, as it would later be known, emerged as a luxurious haven in the bustling city of Tel Aviv. Originally, Tel Baruch was a single entity. It was named after Mordechai Yosef Baruch, a dedicated Zionist activist. The first residents, immigrants from Turkey and Bulgaria, moved in during October 1947. They settled in the area south of KKL-JNF Boulevard. This area is now considered “old” Tel Baruch. Just 32 housing units marked the neighborhood’s humble beginnings. Tel Baruch expanded north of the boulevard between 1949 and 1950. Even amidst its growth, Tel Baruch faced adversity. At the start of the Six-Day War, an artillery shell from Qalqiliya struck the neighborhood. Decades later, in the late 1990s, a new chapter unfolded with the development of Tel Baruch North. This newer section distinguishes itself with its modern architecture. Over 70% of the buildings in Tel Baruch North are mid-rise residential structures, ranging from four to eight floors. The remaining buildings are primarily villas, further enhancing the neighborhood’s luxurious feel. Tel Baruch North boasts modern amenities. These include the Mikado Center, a bustling shopping center, and the Naomi Shemer elementary school. A boarding school provides a supportive environment for children from families facing challenges. This modern neighborhood sits on land with a rich past. During the British Mandate period, the area housed a military camp. Today, both Tel Baruch and Tel Baruch North are renowned for their upscale character. They seamlessly blend expansive public parks, tranquil woods, and a beautiful beach, creating a truly desirable place to live.
