Jerusalem Neighborhood Rechavia

Rechavia is one of Jerusalem’s most interesting areas from an architectural and historical perspective. One of the first of the “garden” neighborhoods built during the British Mandate, from 1923 – 1936, it is located north of the neighborhoods of Talbieh and Kiryat Shmuel, and adjacent to Shaarei Chesed. The large villas that were built reflect economic and social status as well as personal style – the owners hired talented architects with creative new designs. Rechavia was the "classic garden neighborhood," founded on thirty acres of land, but the area has experienced change over time. In the 1960s, many internal roads such as Gaza and Ramban Street turned into external roads linking the area with the city center. A number of the houses were turned into private offices or demolished with new homes being constructed in their place. Nevertheless,, the basic quality of the neighborhood remained intact. Rechavia in the 1990s remained, to some degree, a preservation of an all-but-vanished world. A walk through the neighborhood's streets, with buildings from the Mandate period flanked by trees, continues to be an aesthetic treat. Gaza is a lively street with many cafes, as well as banks and stores. Rechavia is in a central location, close to the Great Synagogue, the Sheraton Plaza and the downtown district. It owes its pastoral appearance mainly to its overall garden neighborhood plan and abundant greenery.
