Hello there!

Hello everyone!

I'll get straight to the point. I'm moving to Waterford for job purposes in the next month, and i'm looking at 1 bed apartments/flats to rent. I don't like living with people i don't know, so thats why the 1 bed. I'm willing to pay €600 a month, and i have a couple of places lined up, just wondering if ye can give me advice on the areas to stay away from/which are the best. I'm going to be working in the city centre, and i have a car which needs secure(ish) parking.

Can anyone tell me what they think of these areas???

(Sorry for the long links, but when i go to hide them, only half the links hide due to the []'s in the link...)

See: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055194280 for where not to live

Those places seem okay to me.

Hi,
With the exception of the second link all are within a short walking distance of the city centre (you can't get any nearer without paying parking fee's, not to sure about parking facilities in Mary street (link 3), the old Infirmary (link 1) should have ample parking but I'm not sure how secure it is. The last link (I presume it is the apartment block in that area) is in a quite cull de sac and has coded gate entry. I would have no problem staying at any of the 4 locations.
Best of luck!

Found another place near the city centre, unfortunately no photo.
South Parade has some very nice houses, though at €350 per month, the apartment may not be in one of these.

I'd go with the first one personally

Fajitas!

First one!

Ah lads, the first one is supposed to be haunted! There was lots of rumours about people selling up cause of it, and builders reported hearing kids crying etc.

Obviously, its all rumours as there is no such thing in ghosts and it shouldn't affect your decision. :P

The second one. I have heard of a number of people moving out of the Infirmary because of "strange noises and things going bump in the night".

I see dead (and infirm) people! Yep that would be my choice of that quartet.

Lads its not the dead you should be worrying about, its the living
they'll do you alot more harm

Right, definitely not the infirmary so! I've heard the same myself from a few peeps i know. Cheers for the advice people!
