Afeka

Afeka () is a residential neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Israel. It is in the northwestern part of the city.
History.
The origin of the name Afeka is from "Afeka association", which was established at 1943 with a purpose of purchasing property for people. The neighborhood was founded in 1955 by former Haganah officers who were looking for a location to build their homes.
The neighborhood was considered a far suburb of Tel Aviv; this situation changed after the building of Tel Aviv University and the Afeka College of Technology in 1996.
