Seriously, check out http://pie.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=846 It's the DKIT forum, and may have some posts on what places are good or bad. Best of luck.

No need to post there, but if your husband is working in Dundalk Retail Park you should be looking around the college but stay well clear of Muirhevna Mor.

Anything on the Dublin Road should be ok or even Blackrock but that is a bit expensive.

There is a map of the area.

agreed

rockfield has nice houses but is full of students so you'll be kept awake every monday and thursday night.

i would reccommend a look at blackrock or the housing estates surrounding it, expensive but worth it if you can afford.

there is also alot of housing to the rear area of the retail park

It depends on budget really. If you want to give a rough idea of budget I could recommend some areas/estates. PM if you wish

Are you buying or renting?

I know someone that lives in the place behind the horse track and it's fairly cheap and nice and quiet.

Yeah, it's nice at the track alright, you'd need to be driving or not mind a trip into town on a bycycle though.
