Students Drive Up Rent Prices Here Compared to the Rest of the City

In Be'er Sheva's B neighborhood, there is a youthful and student-oriented atmosphere, yet there is a need for investment in urban renewal and infrastructure. Assaf Weiss, who lives with his partner in this area, notes that apartments are hard to come by as they frequently transition from one student to another, leaving few options for local residents. The neighborhood is characterized by low-rise buildings, 'railway' style structures, single-family homes, and a few towers around 20 stories high. While most of the construction is old, some new projects have emerged. This rapid turnover of housing among students keeps rental prices high, complicating the situation for non-student residents seeking accommodation in the area.
