שיכון זול
שיכון זול - היה השם שניתן לקבוצת בתים טוריים, דו-קומתיים ברח’ ויצמן, בין הרחובות הנשיאים וחומה ומגדל. חברת ’שיכון’ ההסתדרותית שבנתה את הבניינים (1937 1938), אפשרה למשתכנים לעבוד בבניית בתיהם, וכך לכסות חלק מתשלומיהם לחברה. לכן נקראו הבתים "שיכון זול".
שטחה של כל דירה היה כ-50 מ"ר וכלל: חדר דיור, חדר שינה, מטבח, חדר שירותים, מרפסת ופרוזדור. כדי להבטיח בידוד טוב כוסו הבתים בגגות רעפים אדומים, שהיו לסימן ההיכר של הבתים. בשנות השבעים הורחבו המבנים ושופצו.

Cheap housing
Cheap housing - was the name given to a group of two-story terraced houses on Weitzman St., between Hanasiim and Homa and Migdal streets. The Histadrut ’Shikon’ company that built the buildings (1937 1938), allowed the residents to work in the construction of their houses, thus covering part of their payments to the company. That is why the houses were called "cheap housing".
The area of each apartment was about 50 square meters and included: a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, a balcony and a hallway. To ensure good insulation, the houses were covered with red tiled roofs, which were the hallmark of the houses. In the 1970s, the buildings were expanded and renovated.
