Oh, I need to think about the answer for you :) in Israel, private houses are not just expensive but terribly expensive :))) at a time when property prices around the world fell, in Israel it grew. This is a completely inexplicable fact. so I don’t even dream of a private house :))) apartment buildings are very different. the old ones often have fungus on the walls due to humidity. There are no balconies in these houses. New high-rise buildings have balconies - I like it. Now we live in such an apartment and we eat on the balcony - it's great !!!!

near the balcony grows a palm tree with fruits. in the evening, flying bats fly to a palm tree (kind of bats). they are very cute :) my husband was able to take a picture of one of them !!! here are his photos - http://israbel.space/archives/9593 - if the language is not English, on the right under the main photo you can change languages

Howdy tali72! oh, I did not realize that single family homes were out of the price range of most common people. But the apartments with balconies look very nice! And those photos of the bats are great, thanks for sending that link.
