Geography & Climate
The neighborhood overlooks the Nachal Yarmut Park.
RBS Daled is close to RBS Aleph, a full fledged city neighborhood with all the needs of a Chareidi family. For comparison, it’s like Boro Park and Flatbush, or Lakewood and Toms River. Residents living in the neighborhood have all their amenities “at their doorstep”
The neighborhood is built on a beautiful hill and there are many steps, shortcuts, and paths to other areas. In addition, there are many landscapes, parks, and greenery which beautify the place and at the same time give children the space to let out their energy in a creative and safe setting. There are well maintained beautiful parks with things for kids.
During the summer, the weather is hot and in the winter it's cool. It doesn’t get to the point of freezing and the area is not particularly humid either.
