The things said for Rehovot are also applicable to Hod Hasharon, the next one on the list of best places to retire in Israel, with the exception that the later one is pricier. Living here will be even more expensive than in New York. Residents are well educated and Hod Hasharon is a home to a large number of English speakers. The city also has a local country club and numerous sport and recreational facilities.
