I think if I (well, Mr Xiney and I) could do the whole moving to Sligo schtick over, I'd have pushed to move to far closer to the city centre, actually. However, if that's not what you're looking for, there are some lovely areas of Sligo to live in. I'd visit if possible first, have a look around, that sort of thing.
If you're looking to get into surfing, why not look into living in Strandhill and commuting (by car!) into Sligo? Strandhill is a nice town and you're only 15 minutes away from Sligo.
As far as making friends is concerned... I'm afraid I'm not really the one to ask.

Ah thanks a million guys, you're all very good!! The reason I want a bit outside town is that this will most likely be longterm and Im not really a townie kind of girl!
Strandhill looks great, bit more expensive than other areas but might be worth it in the long run...
There a couple in Ballysodare?? Is that far out of town?0 -

Ballisodare is about the same distance from Sligo as Strandhill, but inland - farther from the beach
Nice enough looking place though, from what I've seen of it. Lots and lots of new developments.0 -

If you are gonna be driving i'd be inclined to go Ballisodare or Colloney, it will be cheaper and quieter.
I'd suggest Ballymote but think that would be a bad start to your stay in Sligo!!0 -
LOL - I think I will look into those areas cause they sound lovely!! Im so scared I won't make friends, Im gonna try and share with guys and girls cause I usually get on better with guys, no bitchiness and all that! Plus they will probably be more likely to invite me out with them.....and then Ill meet more people (hopefully!!)
Thanks for the advice...gonna start my house search here now! xxx 0 -

Good luck with the move OP. You're getting here at a good time anyway, I love Sligo during the summer!
I wouldn't panic about making friends, you should do so fairly easily especially if you're sharing (/shudder). If all else fails, Basquille (Our Moderator) accepts lighters in exchange for friendship. It's his fetish.
I'm hoping that eventually we'll all meet up for a sligo beers! Hopefully during the summer so if or when that goes ahead you'd be more than welcome to come along. Although we would ask that if Muffler does come that you'd avoid him as much as possible. He's always trying to thief our people. No matter what he says Donegal is not better than Sligo. Field's and sheep is all there is. Boglands!

Can't help as regards friends, I've been here 17 years and still haven't made any:(
That's awful. Mind you, I'm finding it the same with regards Geevagh. I don't do religion, I don't have children and I'm not a pub goer so what else is there?
