    I don't want to live in the heart of Drogheda or Dundalk, but maybe close to one of them.
    Just looking into moving there at the moment.
    Any nearby villages with a few shops etc?
    Thanks!

    If you want beauty then it's got to be Carlingford.

    Hi
    All depends how close to the M1 you want/need to be.
    Have you had a look at Mornington & Bettystown.
    Originally from very close to the train station in Drogheda. Very quite part of the town and it's off the main road. If I wasn't working in Dublin and was in Drogheda, I would buy/rent a place close to my parents.
    I've always liked Carlingford but it's a good distance from Dundalk. How about Termonfeckin or Clogherhead.

    Bit mean, 10green bottles, the op is probably looking for a nice area to live.

    I get the irony, a lot of working people don't have the luxury of being able to rent in a nice area, or they have to live in towns because they can't run afford to run a car. But as the saying goes: don't hate the player, hate the game.

    It's one thing putting your name down on the social housing list, it's quite another actually getting offered a house/apartment within a short timeframe. Do you expect the OP to live on the streets between now and then?

    OP, while Carlingford is lovely, it is expensive and also quite isolated in terms of distance to Dundalk if you don't drive. I don't know Blackrock but by all accounts it's meant to be very nice. I know a few people who live in Tallanstown and like it there, but a bit far inland for me.

    Around Drogheda Tullyallen or Dunleer or Termonfeckin. Have you any children that will need to be enrolled in a school or any other deciding factors like that?

    I think blackrock is lovely, Dunleer is also quite nice. Have you got your own transport, if not check out public transport because Im not sure how reliable or good it is in rural areas.

    You weren't being judged, you were being called on an earlier thread. A thread where I believe you got a lot more respect than you actually anticipated.
