Disagree, I think that looks good. Uses the already beautiful buildings.
The only one Iāve any interest in there is tayto parkā¦near the Ratoath inn also

Itās dog eat dog out there.
Get some poor student in to pay the mortgage. Itās genius really.
If the student can pay that, they aint poor.
You could also get a live in nanny there, drop a few bob off the rent. Up there for thinking.

Sure thatās the going rate obviously regardless of whether you can afford it or not.
Fuck em out at weekends then. So in a 30 day month they wonāt be there at least 8 days. So itās actually the equivalent of ā¬1300 a month. Christ. At least in the old days of digs you got fed as well.
They need a grand wee homebird girl from the Wesht, who hasnāt found mickey yet.
ā¬950 with allowances for someone coming in late a Sunday night. 
What would an entire house (barn) in College Court cost out of interest?
Well over ā¬2k a month for a 4 bed for the student year. DJ equipment not included
Would it actually be that much? I suppose I havenāt paid any real heed of rental prices anywhere in Ireland in about 4 years, other than the persistent whine in the media about Dublin prices.
Ya itās mental here as well, but not as bad as Dublin obviously. Nothing to rent anywhere, a lot of the old further out places which would have been student estates have been taken over by young professionals. All the students have left are the cardboard boxes in Elm park and the likes of College Court. A lot of students driving to college now from places they wouldnāt have before because itās too expensive to live around the place.
Thereās serious money to be made in buying a shit box in Elm Park and renting it out. A lot of hassle as well though. At least if you start out with a shit house itās not too bad if they wreck it.
Id say if youāre considering this the 950 is only a dent in the mortgage
Should have left the name of the person posting that as up. What utter cretins.

Informative. Yeah, other than actual structural damage, you couldnāt really make an Elm Park house a whole lot worse. I guess a lot of houses/apartments along Groody Road in particular were filled with students initially but that has swung the other way, particularly with Northern Trust nearby. Iāve seen a couple of planning applications for developments go in for the Bloodmill Road in the past few months.
Ya a lot of places like Briarfield and up around the shopping in centre in Castletroy which a lot of students lived in are young professionals now as well, though still a few students knocking about im sure. Driving from home to college would completely ruin the best part of college experience. And the most important part IMO
