St. Laurence Gate EDRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At a median of €22.5/m², the area comfortably earns its BOUGIE rating, though you're paying as much for the prestige of the old town as you are for actual floor space. Our neighborhood analysis shows that supply is incredibly tight, which is keeping the price floor at a steep €18.5/m². It’s a solid investment outlook for landlords, but renters should prepare for high competition and non-existent parking options.
The Vibe:This is the historic spine of Drogheda where medieval stone meets the daily grind of Laurence Street traffic. You’re trading a driveway for the ability to walk to every decent pub in town within five minutes. Expect a crowd of professional renters who prefer the grit of an urban center over a sterile suburban semi-d.

Locals Ask
Is parking typically included in the Average Rent?
Almost never; most properties here rely on on-street permits, so factor that extra cost into your monthly budget.
How do m² stats here compare to the rest of Drogheda?
You’re paying a 15-20% premium per square meter compared to the estates out by the Donore Road.
What is the investment outlook for the St. Laurence Gate area?
Very strong; the lack of new build potential in the historic core keeps existing rental yields high and vacancy low.
Is it loud living right by the Gate?
Yes, the traffic bottleneck at the monument means you'll hear engines idling and buses shifting gears from dawn until dusk.
How far is the commute to Dublin from this ED?
The Matthews bus stops are a 5-minute walk away, while the train station is a 15-minute trek across the bridge.
