Rishon LeZion's can be divided into four main quarters.
The Old City area is located around Herzl Street, Jabotinsky Street, and Rothschild street, near the Midrahov (pedestrian mall) and the old Gan-HaMoshava (The City Park). This area is made up of the Remez (Givaat Levinson), Rishonim (Gan Nahum), Abrahmovich, Katzanelson (Shikun Poalim), Shikun Mapam and Shivat Zion), Nahalat Yehuda, Benot Hayil, Neve Hillel, Neve Elyahu and Neve Yam neighborhoods.
The Eastern Resident (Shikuney HaMizrah) is located in the eastern part of Rishon and includes the Shikuney HaMizrah, HaRambam, Mishor HaNof, Revivim (Shikun Sela), Kidmat Rishon and Ha-Shomer neighbourhoods.
North Mabat is the Old Industrial Zone which is officially called "Mis'har, Biluy, Taasia" (commerce, entertainment and industry) and was originally full of light industry and glass factories. Today it is the center of motor garages, large food stores and has a vivid night life in a pedestrian mall filled with bars and cafes. The North Mabat is located in the northern part of Rishon, near HaMaccabim road (the road called "Kvish Beit-Dagan" by the locals).
Finally, Rishon Ma'arav (The New West) was built in the 1980s and mostly populated in the 1990s. It is a block of new neighborhoods, inter-connected with modern, wide roads. The New West is the modern part of Rishon and has many parks and community centers. It is considered to be very aesthetic and prestigious and in less than a decade it was filled with more than 100,000 residents, doubling Rishon's population. Current neighbourhoods here include Ne'ot Shikma, Kiryat Ganim, Kiryat Rishon, Ne'ot Ashalim, Kiryat Hatanei Pras Nobel, Neve Dkalim and Neve Hof (Pueblo Español). There are also two new industrial zones in this area called Ovest and Mabat.
