The population of Hod Hasharon stands at just 56,659, making it the least densely populated city in the Sharon Plain. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the city only recently transitioning from a local council to cityhood in 1990. The landscape has been dramatically reshaped, with the historical Sharon Forest giving way to citrus orchards and poultry farms. While the city boasts excellent schools and a new ecological park, the trade-offs of living in this inland enclave may be too much for many. Hod Hasharon is best suited for those seeking a quiet, family-oriented community far removed from the hustle and bustle of coastal Israel.
