Frum life in Ramat Gan?

The frum life there is pretty non existent. I mean you have kosher restaurants and shuls around so it's okay for a vacation but it's not got a real frum community. The frum people are older and traditional generally. It's a pretty expensive area though so that apartment was a good investment!

I was afraid of that. Let's say we needed to make it a landing place for ourselves while we find a place to settle. What would the closest shul? School? Think corner of jabotinsky and arlozorov.

I dont know exactly where the apt is but I think it's close enough to bnei brak if you need kosher food and minyanim . Bottom line , if you need to hang out there for a little while until you figure out where you want to settle you should stay there. It's israel and it's not like the apt is in the middle of a non frum area in tel Aviv. Jabotinsky and arlozorov if I'm not mistaken is pretty close to bnei brak . You should be totally fine .

(I have family members that live right off jabotinsky but I dont rem exactly where but they are israeli mizrahi. Some of their neighbors are frum some not. But we stay by them and they live walking distance to bnei brak and it's actually an excellent location in my opinion . Not for long term but short term or vacation it's perfect )

I don't know the area well enough but I think you'd be fine living there for a while. It's just not where you would want to bring up a young religious family.

In terms of shuls, I think on the website kippah you could find a list of shuls in Ramat Gan. They also have a list of mikvahs. I would assume you would have a shul walking distance from you.

For schools, I don't think you have anything in the area but you definitely have alot of options nearby in Bnei Brak/Petach Tikvah/Givat Shmuel which really isn't far away. The older kids can take buses/hasaot and you could drive the younger kids or they can take hasaot.
