THE COAST COLLECTION — NETANYA 2026
Shirat HaYam, Netanya — Luxury Apartments, New Developments & Coastal Living
On Netanya’s southern coast, between the Iris Nature Reserve and the Mediterranean, Shirat HaYam (also known as Shirat Miriam) is taking shape as a planned neighborhood combining residential living, nature and tourism. This guide brings together planning information, practical buying considerations and Marina’s local perspective to help you understand the area before making a decision.
For up-to-date information on development locations, construction stages and available homes, speak with Marina — a licensed real estate agent with first-hand knowledge of Netanya’s coastal property market.
Who is developing which plot? Where is it located? What stage has it reached? Ask Marina about the projects and homes that match your plans.
Marina Faradjev — Your Local Perspective on Shirat HaYam and Netanya’s Coastal Market
When a neighborhood is still emerging, the difference between an attractive rendering and a sound property decision lies in the details: the exact plot, apartment orientation, future views, the project's stage and the surrounding lifestyle. Marina helps buyers navigate Netanya real estate and focus on the right questions before committing. Want to know who is developing where and what may be available? Start with a personal conversation.
Shirat HaYam — A New Vision for Living by the Mediterranean
There is a difference between living near the sea and choosing a neighborhood designed around its coastal setting. That is the idea behind Shirat HaYam: new homes near Netanya's southern shoreline, planned open spaces, tourism facilities and pedestrian connections.
The district is developing in southwest Netanya near the Iris Nature Reserve, between the coast and established residential areas. Buyers familiar with Ir Yamim, Ramat Poleg or Nat-600 will find a different proposition here: a planned community being delivered in stages, rather than a fully established neighborhood with every facility already operating.
Why two neighborhood names? In 2026, the name Shirat Miriam was approved in memory of Miriam Feirberg-Ikar. The name “Shirat HaYam” remains widely used in real estate searches and project marketing, so this guide uses both names. Read about the name change.
Who might this district suit? Buyers considering a new home near the beach, families planning a future move to Israel, overseas purchasers seeking to understand Netanya and anyone comparing an off-plan residence with a move-in-ready home in an established neighborhood.
What Is Actually Planned for Shirat HaYam?
According to publications from Netanya Municipality and the Netanya development company, the master plan includes approximately 1,850 residential units and 1,100 hotel rooms. These are planning figures — not completed homes or a guarantee that any individual building will be delivered by a particular date.
Sources: Municipal Work Plan — Flagship Projects; Netanya Development Company — Plan Net/620. Planning information may change.
Looking for New Developments in Shirat HaYam?
Which plots are being marketed, what stage has each reached, which apartment types may be relevant and what should you ask before arranging a viewing? Marina can help focus your inquiry on the facts that matter.

What Could Everyday Life in Shirat HaYam Look Like?
Before choosing an apartment, imagine more than the living room and balcony. Think about weekend mornings, the school run, your journey to work and the services you expect within walking distance. In a new district these questions matter especially, because some facilities may still be years away from completion.
A Neighborhood Designed Around the Coast
The plan aims to strengthen the connection between homes and the waterfront. But a particular apartment's sea view is not guaranteed merely because its building is near the beach. Floor level, orientation, sightlines and neighboring construction all require checking.
Beside the Iris Nature Reserve
The Iris Nature Reserve and Winter Lake Park are important landmarks in southern Netanya. Plans describe links to open spaces, but prospective buyers should establish which footpaths, crossings and public areas are actually accessible at the relevant stage.
A New Community Develops in Stages
Shopping, public facilities, schools and neighborhood services shape daily life. A planned school, café or promenade should not be described as already operating. Check availability and school catchment arrangements with the responsible authorities.
What Should You Examine on a Site Visit?
- Apartment orientation: A west-facing home does not automatically enjoy an open sea view.
- Nearby plots: What may eventually be built in front of or beside the apartment?
- The route to the beach: Actual walking paths, gradients and safe crossings.
- Everyday accessibility: Road exits, public transport and parking arrangements.
- Ongoing construction: What works might continue after residents move in?
- Schools and services: What is open now, and what remains on the plan?
Marina can help tailor these questions to your lifestyle — whether you are planning a permanent home in Israel, a holiday residence, a move from abroad or a long-term purchase.
Which Development Could Be Right for You — and When Might It Progress?
The precise position within Shirat HaYam, apartment type, planning stage, permits, payment schedule and completion date may differ substantially from one project to another. That is why this guide does not list specific developers or make blanket delivery promises.
Want to know who is developing each site, where the projects are and what is currently being offered? Contact Marina with your preferred apartment size, approximate budget and ideal move-in year. She can help direct you toward relevant, current information that can be verified for each individual development.
Choosing Well Goes Beyond Choosing a Beautiful Apartment
Two homes can look almost identical in a rendering yet differ greatly in walking distance to the beach, sunlight, future views, parking and contractual terms. A thoughtful comparison is where a better purchase decision begins.
Prices and Presales in Shirat HaYam: How to Compare Offers Properly
For a new-build apartment, price per square meter is only a starting point. The real difference between two offers can lie in the stated floor area, balcony, parking or storage allocations, floor level, orientation, payment terms, linkage to the Israeli construction-input index and handover schedule.
Marketing prices sometimes relate to one development or a particular apartment mix. Therefore, a single quoted price should not be presented as the average for all of Shirat HaYam, particularly when individual plots are at different planning stages. A meaningful comparison needs a dated written offer, detailed specification, payment terms and comparable completed transactions wherever available.
| What to Compare | Why It Matters | What to Request |
|---|---|---|
| Asking Price | It is not necessarily the price achieved in a completed transaction. | Written quotation, date and validity period. |
| Floor Area & Specification | The apartment, balcony, storage and parking may be calculated or valued differently. | Sale plan, technical specification and included rights. |
| Sea View & Floor | One floor or aspect can make a meaningful difference to everyday living. | Surrounding plans and sightline information, if available. |
| Payment Schedule | Later installments may ease cash flow but do not automatically make a purchase profitable. | Payment dates, indexation, finance conditions and total costs. |
| Delivery Date | An estimated timeframe cannot replace contractual commitments. | Contractual handover date, remedies and buyer protections. |
| Planning Status | Permits and conditions vary by development and plot. | Current official documents and approvals. |
Two Apartments in the Same District — Two Very Different Decisions
Illustrative example, not current market pricing: one apartment is on a higher floor but has a later delivery date; the other includes an additional parking space and earlier occupation, but only a partial sea view. Begin with the plan and specifications, then compare location, payment terms and verified documents.
This table is a decision-support tool, not legal, planning, valuation or financial advice. Consult independent qualified professionals as appropriate.
Presale: Why the Early Price Does Not Tell the Whole Story
A presale, sometimes called an off-plan purchase, offers apartments during a development's early stages. There may be introductory terms or a wider choice of layouts, but buyers also face uncertainty about delivery dates, planning milestones, design changes and payment obligations. An advertised “launch price” is not necessarily the best deal — assess the entire purchase.
The value of professional guidance: Turning a collection of sales offers into meaningful comparisons based on your needs, timing and constraints.
Shirat HaYam, Ir Yamim, Nat-600 or Park HaYam?
The right decision is not always to buy in the newest development. It is to understand what kind of neighborhood works for your life today — and how much uncertainty you are prepared to accept.
| Neighborhood | General Character | Potential Advantage | What to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shirat HaYam / Shirat Miriam | Emerging district with a new coastal master plan | Opportunities to buy in new residential developments | Permits, future surroundings and promised handover dates |
| Ir Yamim | Established coastal neighborhood with residential towers | Existing amenities and infrastructure in much of the area | Building maintenance, management fees, floor and actual view |
| Nat-600 / Nof HaTayelet | A mix of homes and apartment buildings near the promenade | Established properties and varied residential styles | Individual building condition, appurtenant rights and privacy |
| Park HaYam | A developing district blending newer projects with existing housing | Modern apartments and park-side living in parts of the area | Exact building location, access and currently operating amenities |
This is a descriptive comparison, not a ranking or a price index. Every neighborhood contains different streets, buildings and properties.
A New Apartment or a Move-in-Ready Home? Two Different Decisions
Shirat HaYam offers opportunities in developments at various marketing and planning stages. In more established areas, you can often tour a completed home, see the actual view and experience the neighborhood before making a commitment.
A family planning to relocate to Israel in six months has different needs from a buyer comfortable waiting several years. A rental investor will assess the purchase differently from someone choosing a forever home.
That is why Marina starts the comparison with your budget, desired timeframe, lifestyle and need for certainty — not slogans about the “best neighborhood.”
Marina can help compare local options around your budget, intended use and preferred moving date.
Seven Checks Before Buying in a New Coastal Development
In a neighborhood still under development, current information matters more than ever. These seven checks will help you arrive at a meeting with the right questions instead of relying on marketing copy or an old estimated handover date.
Identify the Exact Plot and Apartment
Do not rely on a commercial project name alone. Request site plans, plot references, the building's exact location and the apartment's position.
Verify Planning Status and Permits
Ask independent professionals and the relevant authorities what has been approved, what remains pending and which conditions still apply.
Examine Relevant Environmental Matters
Public reporting has discussed groundwater investigations and possible implications for development permits in the district. Verify the current position for the particular plot rather than applying a general assumption to the entire neighborhood.
Check the Future View
A sea view in a rendering is not a legal guarantee. Study neighboring development plans and the precise location of the apartment.
Calculate the Total Purchase Cost
Beyond the apartment price, consider applicable purchase tax, professional fees, any brokerage fee, indexation, upgrades, furnishings and financing costs. Overseas buyers may also need to plan currency transfers.
Have Contracts and Buyer Protections Reviewed
An independent Israeli property lawyer should examine title, financing arrangements, statutory safeguards, specifications, dates and contractual protections.
Compare at Least Two Genuine Alternatives
Consider floor area, level, orientation, view, payments, timeline and total cost — not simply which listing looks most appealing.
MARINA'S TIP · SEA VIEWSA West-Facing Apartment Does Not Tell the Whole Story
One thing I always encourage buyers to examine is not just whether the apartment faces west, but what may actually be built in front of it in the years ahead.
A Mediterranean view can be a key factor in a luxury purchase. Yet the precise building position, floor and plans for neighboring plots can make a substantial difference.
In a new district such as Shirat HaYam, it is particularly important to look beyond the marketing image and have the relevant plans and documents checked by the appropriate professionals.

A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE · A PERSONAL SERVICE
Find the Right Home for Your Life — Not Just the Most Impressive Rendering
In my view, Shirat HaYam is one of Netanya’s most interesting emerging coastal districts. Its proximity to the Mediterranean, its new planning vision and the established neighborhoods of southern Netanya create distinctive residential possibilities.
But when I guide buyers, I always stress that a beautiful rendering or the words “first line to the sea” are not enough. You need to understand the exact apartment location, what may be built around it, the stage of the development and the terms of the purchase.
My goal is to help clients find more than a beautiful apartment. I want them to choose a home that truly fits their needs and the decision they are ready to make.
I am Marina Faradjev, a licensed Israeli real estate agent working with Home in Israel. My focus is Netanya's property market and coastal neighborhoods. I follow the development of Shirat HaYam so I can help buyers understand the options, ask about individual project stages and identify the checks needed before they decide. For me, real local expertise is in the details — not only in the view.
When you contact me about Shirat HaYam, we start with the essentials: How will you use the property? What is your realistic budget? Do you need a sea view, a particular handover date or access to existing services? Only then do we compare specific options and investigate their details.
I work with clients in Israel and abroad in English, Hebrew, Russian and French. I help with local property research, coordinating inquiries and introducing the appropriate specialists. Legal, planning, tax and financial checks belong with the relevant independent professionals.

Shirat HaYam (Shirat Miriam), Netanya — Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, practical answers to the questions buyers often ask before considering an individual property.
Are Shirat HaYam and Shirat Miriam the Same Neighborhood?
Yes. Shirat HaYam is the established name associated with the district; in 2026 the name Shirat Miriam was approved. Both names still appear in property searches and marketing. Always identify the actual plot and development in official documents before buying.
Where Is Shirat HaYam Located?
In southwest Netanya, near the Mediterranean shoreline and the Iris Nature Reserve. The area includes sites at different development stages, so check the exact building position relative to the beach, roads and existing services.
Can I Already Buy an Apartment in Shirat HaYam?
Marketing activity and availability vary by development and date. For an up-to-date picture of what is being offered, the stage of each project and the relevant purchase terms, contact Marina for current information.
What Is the Average Price per Square Meter in Shirat HaYam?
A single number should not be treated as a district-wide average without a representative transaction sample and a clear calculation method. An advertised price in one development is not the average of completed sales. Compare dated offers alongside area, specification, floor, precise location and payment terms.
What Is the Benefit of Buying at the Presale Stage?
Early marketing may offer more floor-plan choices or different terms, but it can also carry uncertainty over delivery, planning and costs. Have an independent Israeli lawyer review the agreement and statutory protections.
When Will Homes in Shirat HaYam Be Ready?
There is no single handover date for the neighborhood. Delivery depends on the individual development, permits, construction progress and the sale agreement. Older estimates mentioning 2027–2028 are not promises for every site; ask for a current contractual date and supporting documents.
Will Every Apartment Have a Sea View?
No. Views depend on the exact building position, floor, orientation and neighboring development plans. Even a building close to the sea can have obstructed or partial views. Check the planning information, not just the rendering.
What Facilities and Public Spaces Are Planned?
The district plan combines housing, tourism and public or environmental spaces. However, distinguish what is proposed from what is already built and operational — especially schools, retail and pedestrian connections to the waterfront.
Are There Planning or Environmental Issues I Should Check?
Yes. Reports from July 2026 discussed groundwater investigations and possible effects on permits within Plan Net/620. This does not mean every plot is affected in the same way. Seek current approvals and independent professional advice for the specific development.
How Does Shirat HaYam Compare with Ir Yamim?
Ir Yamim is a more established residential neighborhood, where buyers can often inspect completed buildings, services and homes. Shirat HaYam offers a newer district vision that will be implemented over time. Your decision depends on your desired move-in date and tolerance for uncertainty.
Would Shirat HaYam Suit a Family Relocating to Israel?
Coastal access and planned open spaces may appeal to families, but check currently operating schools, enrollment zones, everyday transport and the length of neighboring construction. A planned school is not necessarily open when you move.
Can Marina Help if I Currently Live Overseas?
Yes. Marina works with buyers in Israel and abroad and communicates in English, Hebrew, Russian and French. You can begin with a remote conversation, shortlist options and arrange video updates, while independent professionals handle legal, planning, tax and financing checks.
How Can I Find Out Who Is Building Where and When?
Information can change between plots and sales phases, so check it close to the time of your decision. Message Marina with your budget, preferred property type and ideal move-in date.
