been monitoring both the appartment and two to three bed house market in the two cities and galway appears to be at least 20% more expensive
Oh please! Galway is ok - it's not amazballs but it's just ok - and not worthy of current property prices.Sorry about this, but city reputation also plays a part.

How is Limerick any different than any other irish city? It's got a couple of bad areas - but how does this differ from anywhere else?
I'm from Galway but live in Limerick. Limerick was behind Galway in lots of ways. The hospital for example had no development until Noonan got health back in the mid 90's. As a hospital it struggled to get the trainees that Galway and cork got as there was no medical school.
The city centre lacks a quality that Galway has but there was great work being done in the city just before recession hit.
It has great potential and it needs to be sold. Lots of people thought getting the city of culture was a great achievement whereas I saw that as a one off. I have always maintained that it's the sport area that needs to be developed.
And for the records it rains way more in galway.
Clearly there are plenty that disagree with me (or else it wouldn't be so expensive) but I couldn't agree with you more.been looking into things closer since i opened this thread , the price difference is close to 40% from what i can see , galway is incredibly expensive

I haven't seen the stats on it but I'd wager that Galway gets a disproportionately higher level of FDI (and with that, FDI related jobs). That and the supply constraint in the City itself that 'Commericial' mentioned above. Other than that, I can't see any rational reason to rate it above Limerick.
galway is by far the wettest city in ireland

I'm open to correction. However, are we not talking about specific isolated area's with regard to the 'bad rep'/'crime' aspect? i.e. take moyross out of the equation.Hello,
I don't know what the crime statistics are for both cities (rather than both counties, although this may also prove of interest), but would be interested to learn what they are, as they may also be an influencing factor ?
Rental yields & occupancy levels may also be worth checking out for both locations.
No Donegal gets that medal.
.............................which city in donegal are you refering to ?

In the case of Galway, take Castlepark/ballybane & ballinfoyle out of the equation. Nobody is suggesting anyone move to (or invest in) areas in either city that are 'problematic'.
Is it not a more rational perspective to take - to consider both cities excluding these areas?
I think you might have just disproved your own theory with that post. Not very classy.There's also the class of people in both places. Some may disagree, but there's a bit more class to the Galway people, more taste, culture, confidence, better looking, better restaurants, better feel, better shops, shopping, better and far more events, horse racing, greyhound racing, pubs, hotels, the prom, golf, the feel, plenty more as well. In fact I don't see why you're trying to compare the 2 towns, they're entirely different places. A galway person would never aspire to live in Limerick, but a Limerick person ???> Enough said.
