Tel Baruch is a wealthy neighborhood where mid-rise residential buildings and villas sit close to relaxing green spaces, including Meridor Garden with its flower beds and playgrounds. Mainstream retail stores and casual restaurants fill the airy Mikado Center, not far from the grand Yahad Shivtei Yisrael Synagogue. A 14-minute bike ride west leads to sandy Tel Baruch Beach, where gentle waters draw families.
