Five things worth knowing

From the bus stop outside your door to the parking spot under the building.

🚌 Bus Lines

You won't need a car for every trip — there's a bus stop practically outside your door.

Lines 1, 29, 47, 531, 551, 561, 567, 575 all pass through here — some loop around Ra'anana's own neighborhoods, others head straight out to Kfar Saba, Herzliya and the rest of the Sharon.

Bottom line: plenty of trips are doable without ever starting the car. It's worth checking the exact route for whichever line you'll actually use once you're settled in — bus routes in Israel get reshuffled now and then, and the Ra'anana–Tel Aviv lines have changed before.

🌙 free late-night transit

One worth knowing about: free rides run Friday and Saturday nights between Ra'anana and Tel Aviv (plus a few nearby towns), so a night out in the city doesn't turn into a headache about getting home — teenagers included.

🚆 Train

Yes, Ra'anana has a train — actually, two stations.

Ra'anana has two active train stations — Ra'anana West and Ra'anana South — on Israel Railways' regional Sharon Line, which connects Herzliya to the south of the country (as far as Be'er Sheva). At peak hours, trains run toward Herzliya roughly every 15 minutes (about 4 trains per hour).

Good to know: this is a regional ring line, not the main coastal line — so to reach central Tel Aviv you'll typically transfer at Herzliya. Of the two, Ra'anana South is the closer station to Katsin Street — a short drive or bike ride, not a walk.

Alongside the train, there are of course also more direct bus lines to Tel Aviv and Herzliya, depending on your destination and time of day.

⏱️ Commute Times

Minutes from the hi-tech park, accessible across the Sharon region.

Ra'anana sits about 10–15 minutes' drive (in light traffic) from the Herzliya Pituach hi-tech park, with multiple transport options — buses and a regional rail line — into Tel Aviv and central Israel. For an exact commute time from this specific address, we'd recommend checking a live Waze or Google Maps estimate, since it varies by time of day and route.

🚲 Cycling Routes

Ra'anana is investing in a bike-path network that keeps expanding.

The city has around 17.5 km of dedicated bike paths, with more being paved all the time.

The paths wind through parks and quiet streets too, so it's easy to find a comfortable route for a family ride with the kids, not just for serious cyclists. And the network keeps growing year after year, making it easier all the time to leave the car at home for a short trip.

🅿️ Parking

Regulated municipal parking, plus dedicated parking with every apartment.

Ra'anana Municipality operates a Parking Authority, and residents can apply for a resident parking permit for vehicles in residential zones under the local municipal bylaw.

As is standard for new construction in Israel, the Katsin 5 project includes dedicated parking with every apartment unit.

Where it is on the map

Ra'anana and its train stations — about 10–15 minutes from Herzliya, and minutes from neighboring Kfar Saba.

It's about a 10–15 minute drive to the Herzliya Pituach hi-tech park in light traffic. Tel Aviv is reachable by direct bus or by train with a transfer at Herzliya — exact travel time depends on the time of day and route, so it's worth checking Waze or Google Maps from the specific address.
