Where olim live
Nefesh B'Nefesh lists these Karmiel neighbourhoods as popular with olim: the old centre, Dromit (the southern quarter), Sagi, Te'ene, Ramat Rabin, Makosh, Megadim, Hadar, Givat Ram and the Irisim. It describes all of them as religiously mixed.
How the city grew
The first 16 families moved in in October 1964. Six new neighbourhoods have been built since 1980, and the western neighbourhoods sit on the Karmi and Makosh hills; a newer neighbourhood, Ramat Navon on Har Karmi, is on the western edge.
