The local newspaper in Killarney always has dozens of houses in it that aren't on daft for some reason.

The gf used to live in Killarney and she found both houses there. Both she found in the local paper, neither were advertised online at all...

Definitely worth a look

Funny you mentioned that because I just found out about the paper yesterday. I'll be going through the ads tomorrow to see if I can find anything. Thanks for the info, glad to know that it has worked for others :-)

Have spoken with a few over the phone, but most are generally not terribly helpful... Lots of "I'll check with the landlord", "I'll have the agent call you when he gets in", "let me take your details and I'll give you a ring later" and never hear back. Sigh...

I'll try a few agencies in person next week.

It can be a bit daunting looking online & not knowing the areas etc. It would be a good idea to get in touch with local estate agents in Tralee, or even in Killarney and see what they have on their books in your price range. They can also advise you on the area etc.

Thanks a million xxyyzz for the quick responses. Luckily I work from home in the mornings, so should be able to skip the school rush most of the time.

From what I see on Daft, Oakview Village is a bit more than what I'd want to spend - seems that's more 700-800, where I'm looking really 650 max hopefully. There's this nearby http://www.daft.ie/lettings/meadowlands-estate-meadowlands-tralee-kerry/1488964/ and there's also this http://www.daft.ie/lettings/oakview-tralee-kerry/1558123/ . Both a bit Spartan in terms of furnishing and neither mentions pets, but still seem good enough and suitable for us. Are those areas ok?

To the best of my knowledge they are both grand areas. You'll have to leave early to get to the killarney Road in the mornings, Tralee is gridlocked from 8.30 am onwards on school mornings

Thanks for the info, so off-street parking would be necessary... Actually I'll be working in Killarney, but I really need a house w/ yard (we have a dog and cat), and there just isn't anything in or around Killarney that is pets allowed and not beyond our budget. The wife doesn't drive, so we also want to be in town or within walking distance of a village or town centre.

I don't know what your budget is but Oakview village is a good option for young families. A lot of young professionals work there and there's a creche in the estate that's highly regarded. About 5 minutes walk from town. Most of the houses are average sized 3 bedroom houses.

Stacks Villas is a pretty old estate in town, no students living there. Be warned, there would be 2 large primary schools on your doorstep so traffic is absolutely manic in the mornings around there and there is little to no parking. What part of town will you be working in?

Hi everybody,

I hope you could help me out a bit. I'm moving out to Kerry for work. I was wondering if the area around Stacks Villas is ok for a family (dad + mom + a baby)? There are a few houses up on Daft in that area and nearby. I've never been to Tralee, so have no idea of which parts of town are full of students, families, etc. Thanks for any insight.
