Living in Gort

I'm originally from the town and it is as quite as quite could be especially after the bypass. If you play sports or have school going children you will do well as people are friendly but won't approach you but will invite you in to the community if there is common ground.

A lot of unfinished estates and some houses are really just sheds regarding finishing & insulation so be careful. As there are a load of genuine bargains to be had in and around the town.

Very Active Hurling, Football, Soccer and Rugby clubs. Golf club is good, Community centre has gym, squash, racquet and other sports. Pool in hotel so fitness activity is your thing well there you go.

Schools are fine as far as I know 20 years ago there were three now only the one so can't comment further.

20 miles to most parts in Galway, 20 mins to Ennis 30-45 to nearly all of limerick City, same distance to Dublin as Galway 25 mins to Motoroway to Dublin.

There is a sense of Community but as I only visit can't comment. Creches are good (Prices I don;t know)

Hope this is of help!
