Moving to Naas

plasmin

Hi,

Myself and wife will be moving to Naas in next 3-4 months. Can someone advice/info on-

1. Good areas to rent 2/3 bed house/appt.
2. No go areas
3. Estate agents

The options on daft are not many.

Thanks

First off; where'll you be working? No point in having to go through the town every day if you don't have to.

We moved to naas in July,really liking it so far.we moved to millbridge way, really nice estate. It's a lovely and quiet estate with nice houses / apartments in an area within 10minutes walk from the town centre and 5mins walk from the canal.

As stated above, what area will you working in? Heading north or south?

We had best luck on daft by the way. Found estate agents very poor to returning with information.

Caragh Court will be cheap and very close to Millenium Park. And its very quiet there with plenty of space and green areas

The Monread/Morell area would be an area to consider, as would parts of Sallins if the Millenium Park/Osberstown area is where you're working.

I second what Buffy said. We rented in Morell for over 3 years, then bought near the gym in monread. We're here for good now.

As for no go areas, i don't think there are any. No place would bother me anyway.

Well, not so much to be avoided, but Lakelands (which is at the other end of the town) has a lot of older houses, so you'd want to check the BER rating, as when I rented there 4 or 5 years ago, the house had no insulation Wasn't renting that long so didn't know to check for it, but wherever you plan to move into, check the insulation, etc.

been living in Naas over 16yrs
Caragh Court is handy now for the Millenium Park...5 min drive or 15-20 min walk depending on where in Caragh Court and where in Millenium Park...Caragh Court is a long estate
Morrell is also really handy

Throw up a few links and we can help

Do you have your own transport or will you be walking/cycling to work?

Also if you have kids, where do you plan to send them to school as this might have a bearing on where to live

Sherry Fitz are probably one of the bigger agents in the town

A few suggestions based on 2 bedrooms

Thanks Lex-

I will be driving to work. We do not have any kids at the moment but hope to start family soon

Is there any local newspaper for house adverts (all I know is Leinster Leader which does not have Naas specific adverts)? I would prefer to deal directly with house owner rather than letting agent (this may be a wishful thinking).

Thanks again

driving to naas, is it quicker to get there getting off at kilcock or maynooth? aa says at maynooth,but map looks like you should get off just after toll at kilcock?which is best

From Galway direction? then yes, get off at Kilcock. Or to avoid Sallins & Naas during school drop off times then get off at Maynooth, then Straffan and onto the N7.

il be heading there at school times. so you would suggest maynooth , then straffan ..it just looks longer on the map?

I suppose it depends on where you are going to in Naas.

If its the centre of Naas then go though Sallins.

If its near Johnstown or B&Q at the other end, so anywhere just off the N7 then go through Stafffan.

Not really sure about papers...you could try Tesco notice board. There is also Leinster Leader, or just use daft.ie

I have done both
Maynooth exit to Naas exit 9 through Straffan is approx 22-25 min, no more.

Kilcock exit to Naas can vary a lot. You have to factor in going through Clane and then Sallins, then the traffic to Millenium roundabout and these could add 15 minutes to your journey. The Maynooth way is definitely longer but at times could be quicker

It depends on time of day and luck of the draw if you get stuck behind a tractor or truck
