Blessington EDRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of €26.5/m², you are paying a heavy 'commuter tax' for the proximity to Naas and Citywest. Our data is thin here, reflecting a stagnant market where supply rarely meets the demand of those priced out of Dublin. We've categorized this as THE_GRID because while it offers the scenery, the lack of a rail link makes the €31/m² top-end prices feel like a stretch for most budgets.
The Vibe:Blessington is defined by the heavy N81 traffic and the massive, grey expanse of the Poulaphouca Reservoir. You’ll see locals hauling kayaks toward The Avon while commuters brace for the notoriously long slog on the 65 bus. It’s a functional town where the rural Wicklow wind hits hard against modern housing estates.

Locals Ask
Is the 65 bus actually reliable for commuting?
It’s your only direct link to the city, but congestion at Jobstown frequently turns the schedule into a suggestion rather than a rule.
How is the parking situation for town center apartments?
Tough; unless your lease includes a designated spot, you'll be fighting for space near the Square or tucked-away side streets.
Is the €31/m² price point justified?
Only if it’s an A-rated new build with lake views; paying that for older stock in the town center is poor value.
What is the local social scene like for renters?
It revolves around the GAA club and a few pubs on the Main Street; it’s quiet, bordering on sleepy after 8 PM.
Are there many rental properties available?
No, the market is incredibly tight with high competition for the few houses that aren't owner-occupied.
