In 2015, the neighborhood was the second wealthiest in Israel.[1] The neighborhood is organized as a cooperative society for housing. Residents of the neighborhood pay two-year membership fees to the association, and choose the association's committee.

Israeli Labor Party leader Isaac Herzog grew up and lives in the neighborhood.[2]

The most noticeable villa in the neighborhood is the modernist Orange House, built by the Ginzburg family.[3]
