BallybrickenRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of €22.5/m² monthly, you are paying a premium for a central postcode despite the aging housing stock. We classify this area as THE_GRID because while the location is objectively convenient, the lack of modern amenities and the constant battle for on-street parking limits the upside. It is a stable investment outlook if you own, but as a renter, you are paying for proximity rather than internal square footage or luxury finishes.
The Vibe:This is the old commercial engine of the city, defined by the massive sloping square where the livestock markets used to run. Life here revolves around the steep walk up from the city center and the tightly packed terraced streets like Mayor’s Walk. It is a no-frills residential zone where long-standing locals mix with renters who prioritize walking distance to the Glen over a dedicated driveway.

Locals Ask
What is the average rent for a small flat here?
Expect to pay between €18.5 and €26/m² monthly, depending on whether the landlord has bothered to update the BER rating.
Is parking included in these rental prices?
Almost never. You will likely be fighting for a spot on the square or applying to the Council for a resident's permit.
How does the investment outlook look for Ballybricken?
Solid but slow; it is a high-demand rental area due to the proximity to SETU and the city, but capital appreciation is hindered by the age of the buildings.
Are there many modern apartments in this neighborhood analysis?
Hardly any. Most units are converted Georgian or Victorian-era terraces that have been carved into flats.
Is it noisy at night?
The Green can get loud on weekends, and Barrack Street is a main artery for sirens and traffic heading out of town.
