The Accomadation Thread (all accomadation available & Q's in here)

To make the DKIT boards a bit more useful to students I have decided to sticky this thread to allow people post there questions about available accommodation in the town.

Information about student accommodation can be received from the accommodation service who's number is available on the dkit website here - http://ww2.dkit.ie/student_life/accomodation

I will also allow people who have houses or apartments available to rent specifically for students in here

Places to stay in Dundalk?????? (Attending DKIT)

Hi,

I'm moving to Dundalk to start a degree course next September, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on where I should live? I will be in first year, and have never been there before, so am totally lost. I'm looking for something around 300- 400 a month... any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated...

I guess it depends what you're looking for. I moved here myself last September and started out in an estate called Glenwood. It's grand, nice and quiet and close to the college.

I found though that I wanted to live in a livelier spot so moved to Rockfield Manor halfway through the year and have been there since.

There's also College Heights and College Manor which are practically next door to the college too and may be where I end up next year.

If you're on your own then the college apartments may be an idea too.

All of the estates should be available for 300 quid a month or lower so you'll be fine in that respect. I think the college apartments were 80 quid a week last year so they'll probably be the same.

There'll be an accomodation list on the SU website (dkitsu.ie) on or around the 27th of July I think so make sure and get something early. Any Q's just post again and good luck in college.

College Heights and Rockfield are grand and next to the college.

Look on daft.ie for available stuff too, some very cheap rooms on it at times.

Yeah, I just suggest Daft.ie and don't forget to search for sharing houses aswell and not just houses for rent.

Hey, thanks for all your quick replies, lots to look at there- I have looked at daft.ie, there's loads of choice...

I suppose I just want to get people's opinions/experiences first!

Cheers, I'll let you know how I get on!

Myself and a friend have paid our deposit on a house in College Heights.

For those of you that don't know the area it's about 5 minutes away from the college and is very close to a local Mace shop and is a ten minute walk from Dunnes Stores, KFC, PC World etc in the retail park.
Also very close to the bus stop that leads into the town.

We went to view the house last week and it's a really nice house. It's only 4 years old and is in immaculate condition.

The house comprises of 3 bedrooms. 2 single and a twin room. We have already taken the single rooms and we are now looking for two people to share in the twin room.

The house also contains a fully fitted alarm, two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, both of which contain showers, a fully furnished sitting room and a large open kitchen with all utensils etc supplied.

The landlord asked if I could find someone so here I am posting on boards.

If you think you'd be interested please PM me and I'll pass on the landlord's details to you so you can arrange a viewing of the house.
