A 6-room (5-bedroom) apartment in the Mishkafayim neighborhood of Beit Shemesh represents a premium, spacious option designed for large families. These units are less common than the standard 4- and 5-room apartments and are highly sought after for their generous size and family-friendly layouts.
Here’s a look at the key features and typical price points for these desirable properties.
Key Features
- Generous Interior Space: A 6-room apartment in Mishkafayim is typically very large, ranging from 150 to 180 square meters of interior space. This provides ample room for multiple children, a home office, and a guest room.
- Family-Oriented Layouts: The layouts are designed with family life in mind. You can expect a spacious public area with an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a separate wing or floor for the bedrooms to provide privacy. They almost always include a large, functional master bedroom suite (yunit horim).
- Multiple Bathrooms: These apartments will typically have at least 2.5 or 3 full bathrooms to accommodate a large family.
- Large Outdoor Space: A 6-room apartment is often a “specialty” unit, such as a penthouse or a garden apartment. This means it will come with a very large sukkah-friendly balcony, a rooftop terrace, or a private garden, significantly enhancing the living space.
- Modern Amenities: As they are in new buildings, these units come standard with two parking spots, a storage unit (machsan), central air conditioning, and modern finishes.
Price Points (as of Q3 2025)
The rarity and desirability of 6-room apartments place them at the top end of the Mishkafayim market. The price is heavily influenced by whether it is a standard apartment or a premium unit.
- Standard 6-Room Apartment: A 6-room apartment on a middle floor of a building is rare. If one were available, it would likely be priced starting from roughly 4.4 million NIS.
- 6-Room Garden Apartment or Penthouse: Most 6-room units fall into this category. Due to the addition of a large garden or rooftop terrace, these are premium properties. Their prices typically start from roughly 5 million and can go up to 7 million NIS or more, depending on the size of the outdoor space, the view, the level of customization, and the specific location within the neighborhood.
For a large family seeking a spacious, modern home in a vibrant Anglo-friendly community, a 6-room apartment in Mishkafayim is an ideal but significant investment.
