Kilkenny No.2 UrbanRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Final Boss"
With a median of €24/m², this area is the FINAL_BOSS of the local rental market because supply is essentially non-existent. You are paying a heavy premium for the rail link and the convenience of having Dunnes Stores as your pantry. While the m² stats are eye-watering, the investment outlook remains rock solid simply because there is no room left to build anything new in this tight urban grid.
The Vibe:This side of the Nore is defined by the massive footprint of MacDonagh Junction and the constant flow of commuters hitting the Dublin-Waterford rail line. It swaps the quiet greenery of the outskirts for the gray utility of the Hebron Road and the late-night energy of John Street’s pub circuit. Residents here prioritize being five minutes from the platform over having a driveway or a front lawn.

Locals Ask
Does the Average Rent include parking in Kilkenny No.2 Urban?
Almost never. Most rentals here are older builds or conversions where you’ll be fighting for a residents' permit on the street.
What are the m² stats for a typical one-bed here?
Expect to pay between €19.5 and €29.5 per square metre, meaning a 50m² flat rarely lists for under €1,200.
Is the neighborhood analysis positive for long-term tenants?
Only if you value location over space; it's a high-turnover area dominated by professionals who work in Dublin or Waterford.
How does the Investment outlook compare to the rest of the county?
It’s the strongest in the region because the demand for units near the train station far outstrips the two or three properties that hit the market annually.
Is it loud at night?
If you are anywhere near John Street or the upper end of Wolfe Tone Street, expect significant weekend noise from the nightlife crowd.
