Northern Israel is one of the most sought-after areas for housing with a protected space — for holidays and as a temporary housing solution during a military operation or war. We manage furnished apartments with a safe room or adjacent shelter in Akko, Haifa, Nahariya, the Galilee and the Carmel, all available for short- and mid-term rent.
In an emergency the defense time in the north is short — as of June 2026 about 90 seconds in Haifa and the north and about 45 seconds in Akko — so an in-unit safe room or a fast-access shelter is critical. In all our apartments the protected space is within reach of that time.
For each apartment in the north — the protected-space type and arrival time:
| Apartment | Location | Protected space | Arrival |
|---|---|---|---|
| Akko Lookout · Anchor House · Or-Yam · Bahai Terrace | Akko | In-unit safe room | Immediate |
| Horev Terrace · Etis | Haifa | In-unit safe room | Immediate |
| Villa Calma | Migdal, Galilee | In-unit safe room | Immediate |
| Campus House / Carmel Vista / Horev Home | Haifa | Adjacent shelter | 5–20 s |
| Wood & Soul | Isfiya, Carmel | Shelter | ~60 s |
Families evacuated from border towns find a temporary home with a safe room — from a week to several months, with a tax invoice and the option to extend. We match the apartment to family size, proximity to schools and budget.

Looking for a safe-room apartment (mamad) for rent in northern Israel? A mamad — Hebrew for merkhav mugan, a residential protected space — is a reinforced room inside the apartment that gives you immediate access to a safe space. Some guests search instead for an "apartment with a bomb shelter" or a "protected space"; they all describe the same thing. Every apartment we manage has an in-unit safe room or an adjacent protected space, and you can rent it for a range of stay lengths.
The apartments also serve as alternative housing and a temporary wartime apartment in northern Israel and nearby — a fast solution for anyone who needs a home with a protected space. Book via short-term rental or monthly & mid-term rental, and see the full inventory in our complete safe-room apartments guide.
Times to reach the protected space are approximate, measured from the apartment door; defense times are set and updated by the Israeli Home Front Command based on a town's distance from the border. Verify the exact time for your town on the Home Front Command portal. We are happy to confirm the exact protected-space details for each apartment before booking.
We stayed nearly two months in a safe-room apartment in Akko after being evacuated — we felt safe and everything was organized.
