Kids and schools in Sde Dov
Campus 409: schools, kindergartens, a library and an aquatic centre on one municipal lot.
Updated
Lot 409 is the district's education campus: schools, kindergartens, a library and an aquatic centre grouped on one municipal lot in Eshkol rather than scattered between blocks. Pangaea Sde Dov, an Israel Canada vehicle, won the Tel Aviv municipality tender in August 2024.
For a family buying into the first Eshkol buildings, the campus timeline matters as much as the apartment's. It sits in the same complex as lots 101 through 111, which is why Eshkol is the part of the district that will feel finished first.

Common questions
- Will there be schools in Sde Dov?
- Yes. The district's education campus is planned at about 120,000 sqm and sits in Eshkol, the complex already under construction. It is one of the reasons Eshkol is being built first: schools have to exist before families move in, not after.
- Are the schools open or can I register?
- No, and no. Nothing in Sde Dov is open yet. The district is under construction, first occupancy in Eshkol is expected around 2029, and build-out runs to around 2035. Registration is a municipal process that opens when a school does, and nothing in the district has an intake.
- How much park and open space will Sde Dov have?
- About 500,000 sqm of public space is reserved district-wide. On the plan lots themselves, open and public ground substantially outweighs residential ground — the map here shows 244 dunam of parks and open space against 123 dunam of residential plots.
- Is Sde Dov a good place for families?
- That is a judgement this site will not make for you, because nobody has lived there. What can be stated is what the plan fixes: a 120,000 sqm education campus, about 500,000 sqm of public space, a two-kilometre beach promenade, and 16,000 homes' worth of neighbours arriving from around 2029.
- Where will playgrounds and nurseries be?
- In the open-space and public-buildings reserves the plan sets aside. Individual playground and nursery sites are a detailed-design decision that follows the lot, so no specific facility can be named yet.

- The neighbourhood you inheritNobody moves to Sde Dov and arrives in an empty place. North Tel Aviv is already here, fully built and fully open, on three sides of the fence. This is what is on the other side of it, and what the first residents will use before anything in the district itself exists.
- What Is Being Built Now in Sde Dov: Construction Log, Autumn 2026In Sde Dov, construction is currently under way on the ground only in Eshkol, on three lots, while the Centre and the North are still waiting for design committee approvals. This article details what is already in excavation, shoring and foundations, and when the first occupancy is expected.
