    Hello!

    I'll be moving to the area to begin work in Wicklow town late September.
    I'm 25 and currently living in London, it will be quite the readjustment, so I'm looking for advice on where to live. I've heard mixed reports about Bray but it's probably the liveliest, great things about Greystones and that Wicklow is lovely but pretty quiet.
    Any tips/ advice on such a relocation?

    Cheers :)

    Anyone else gobsmacked that there was a job available in Wicklow Town!?

    The town itself is good, I'm personally not keen on the locals.

    I agree with the previous poster, Greystones is the best bet.

    While greystones is v nice, good restaurants pleasant to look at etc...it depends what you want from where you live, also how do you want to live..do you want to have good access to Dublin..
    bray has good dart/bus access and also is not so bad for a taxi back from Dublin. Also has the lovely seafront and reasonable amount of shops, bars, restaurants, and is only a short drive from greystones....

    Thank you all for the responses...
    Yes I definitely want access to Dublin at weekends, and it would be great if there is stuff to do locally at weekends wherever I live - which is increasingly looking like Greystones.
    I'll be driving to and from Wicklow at peak hours, would traffic be problematic? (Although I imagine I'll be heading in the opposite direction to most!)
    Thanks again

    traffic is fine, as you mentioned you will be travelling opposite to 95% of the cars on the road & its motorway most of the way.

    Its a pleasent enough 20 min drive.
