Daled is under construction, very beginning stages. Nor for sale yet- no building permits even- but there have been lotteries for the government-subsidized housing that will be built there.
I have the impression that gimmel is more Israeli than Aleph. Gimmel-2 which is being built now, and probably ready in a year, will have a number of chashidish communities. Even in Aleph, the percent varies depending what street you are on, and what schools you choose. But your concern about RBS is real- there are enough Anglos here, and infrastructure (English-only shuls, American style schools and summer camps) that one can live comfortably without ever really integrating into Israeli society. One has to make a conscious effort to integrate.
Beitar is more Israeli, with an Anglo presence, have some chasidish elements as well (especially in B, although probably fewer Anglos there) but I am not sure how comfortable you will feel there as a working chareidi.
I think the reason that so many Anglos end up in RBS is because there are not so many communities outside of Yerushalayim that an Anglo would fit into.
