The term cultural diversity is used sparsely today to describe different cities in the world. In Jerusalem, cultural diversity is not only a reality, it also influences the daily routine, the real estate situation and virtually every other aspect of the city's life. In order to understand Jerusalem's cultural diversity and how it influences the rhythm of day to day life and the local real estate market, one needs to take a look not only at the historical facts but also at the history of ideas, sometimes conflicting ideas, that dominate the city's history.
If we take Jerusalem rentals as a case study, we can see how deep the cultural diversity's history is. The history of the city is evident, not only in its architecture and outward visual appearance, it is also evident in the Jerusalem real estate scene, a fact that we shall now demonstrate by looking at the Jerusalem Rentals scene.
If one wants to invest in the local Jerusalem rentals scene he will need to familiarize himself with all the cultural and political issues that are related.
If we detach ourselves for one moment from the various cultural and political aspects influencing the real estate Jerusalem scene, Jerusalem rentals can be seen as part of the larger Israeli market. The local market has seen a steady process of price increases which shows no signs of slowing down. In certain areas, Jerusalem rentals show the same tendency with price increases that are caused by the limited amount of new rental space and the steady natural growth of the population. However, and this is where cultural diversity issues can be demonstrated to have an effect, Jerusalem rentals are in demand not only because of the local natural growth of the real estate market but also because of interest from abroad. Some areas of the city have a multi ethnic identity, while other areas have a more clear ethnic identity. Some of the neighborhoods are in dispute because of political and ethnic reasons and here again we see how even something as practical as Jerusalem rentals can be influenced by cultural diversity and ethnic identity. Jerusalem is a city in which various aspects of culture and politics are intertwined with the practical aspects of the local real estate market. Even something as simple as investing in Jerusalem rentals cannot be done without fully comprehending all the complexities involved in order to make informed decisions.
