Bray No 2 EDRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At €36/m², you are paying a premium for a BOUGIE postcode that isn't quite the seafront but certainly bills like it. The high-end of €44.5/m² is frankly eye-watering and reflects the newer, high-spec builds pushing up against the Shankill border. It is a steep price for North Wicklow, but the proximity to the Dublin border keeps the floor high and the supply tight.
The Vibe:This is the functional gateway to Wicklow where the DART line meets the Dargle River and traffic on Castle Street usually crawls at a snail's pace. It lacks the seafront's tourist noise, attracting serious commuters who prefer being near the Woodbrook border over the Victorian promenade. Most residents are either dodging South Dublin prices or paying for the privilege of being five minutes from the M11 off-ramp.

Locals Ask
Is parking included at these rental rates?
Rarely in the newer builds; expect to shell out an extra €100 monthly for a spot near the Castle Street flats.
How long is the commute to Dublin City Centre?
The DART takes roughly 45 minutes to Pearse Station, but it’s standing room only by the time you hit Shankill.
Why is the area rated BOUGIE?
With a price floor of €28.5/m², this zone has priced out students and retail workers in favor of Cherrywood tech professionals.
Should I worry about flooding near the Dargle?
Modern defenses have helped, but always check the flood maps if you're looking at ground-floor units near the riverbank.
Where is the best place for a quick grocery run?
The SuperValu on Castle Street is the local staple, though the car park is a complete disaster on Saturday mornings.
