It rises from the hills of Ramat Beit Shemesh, a modern silhouette against an ancient landscape. The Sun View project has generated significant buzz, particularly among families looking for space, community, and modern amenities. But beyond the glossy brochures, what are the practical realities of buying in, and is it suitable for those who need easy access?
Let’s get straight to the numbers. The Sun View project, like many new developments in Israel, operates on a dynamic pricing model that evolves with construction phases and sales velocity. As of late 2025, for a standard 5-room (four-bedroom) apartment in the project, the price range is generally between 3,200,000 and 3,800,000 shekels.
What accounts for this 600,000 shekel spread? Several key factors come into play.
-
Floor Level: Higher floors, which typically offer better views and more privacy, command higher prices.
-
View and Direction: Apartments facing the unobstructed, scenic “sun view” are priced at a premium compared to those facing other buildings.
-
Layout and Size: While all are “5 rooms,” the exact square meterage and efficiency of the layout can vary slightly, impacting the price.
-
Balcony Size: The size of the
mirpeset(balcony or terrace) is a major value driver in Israeli real estate, and larger outdoor spaces come with a higher price tag.
Now, regarding the critical issue of accessibility. The Sun View project was designed and built according to modern Israeli building codes, which place a strong emphasis on accessibility. All buildings within the project are equipped with elevators, often including a Shabbat elevator that operates automatically on Saturdays.
This ensures “easy access” to the apartments themselves. You can get from the building entrance to your apartment door without encountering stairs. Furthermore, the project’s planning includes ramps and accessible pathways in the common areas and gardens. However, it’s important to consider the topography of the neighborhood. Ramat Beit Shemesh is known for its hills. While the project itself is accessible, you should personally visit to assess the walkability of the surrounding streets and the routes to local shuls, parks, and shopping centers if you or a family member has mobility challenges. The buildings are accessible, but the neighborhood’s natural landscape is a separate and equally important consideration.
