Romema Real Estate

The Gateway to Jerusalem — Heart of the Haredi Communities

Romema is one of the most sought-after and central neighbourhoods in Haredi Jerusalem, positioned right at the entrance to the city with exceptional transport access. It is home to many chassidic communities and surrounded by a dense concentration of batei midrash, educational institutions and community centres.

Demand for property in Romema is especially high, and prices reflect the area's prestige and centrality. At Barskey Properties we have specialised in Romema for over a decade, with access to exclusive listings found nowhere else.

The Romema property market

The housing stock in Romema is unusually varied: veteran apartment buildings on the main streets, renovated and extended flats, and alongside them the prestigious new developments of recent years around the Yirmiyahu and Shamgar corridors. The neighbourhood enjoys immediate proximity to the Central Bus Station, the Jaffa Road light rail and the city entrance — a real advantage for families and for investors seeking steady rental demand.

Buyers in Romema come from every community — chassidish, litvish, and in recent years many overseas purchasers looking for a home near the mosdos. A significant share of Romema transactions close off-market, through brokers who know the buildings from the inside — which is why deep local knowledge is worth real money here.

FAQ — Romema real estate

What kinds of apartments are available in Romema?

Almost everything: 2-3 room flats in veteran buildings, large family apartments, penthouses in new developments and garden apartments. Because demand is high, inventory turns over quickly — so it pays to define your needs precisely and be ready to decide.

Is Romema a good fit for overseas buyers?

Very much so. Romema is among the most requested neighbourhoods for buyers from the US, UK and Belgium — both as a primary home and as a second home in Jerusalem. We guide overseas buyers through the entire process, including video tours and coordination with lawyers.

Why are so many Romema apartments never advertised?

Many Romema sellers prefer discretion and don't want their home on the public portals. Those properties sell through brokerages with an active buyer network. That is precisely our specialty — a large share of the homes we sell were never publicly listed.
