product recommendation - Good place in Israel for English-speakers

I currently live in Neve Yaakov, but it's getting expensive.

Does anyone know of a good community in Israel for English-speakers, with a diversity of people, yet with a strong sense of community (not a mostly kollel community like Kiryat Sefer or a place with strong divisions like Beit Shemesh)?

Any answer should include an explanation of the reason(s) for its recommendation(s).

Answer

Check out the Nefesh B'Nefesh Community Database which lets you search according to a number of criteria.

Off the top of my head (and if you're sure Ramat Beit Shemesh is out), from the information you give you might want to look into Yad Binyamin, Modiin, Moshav Matisyahu, Nof Ayalon, Efrat/Alon Shvut/Neve Daniel
