BallybritRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At a median of €27/m² monthly, Ballybrit has officially entered BOUGIE territory, though not for the usual luxury reasons. This neighborhood analysis shows you are paying a massive premium for the 'walk-to-work' convenience that Parkmore employees crave. It’s a solid investment outlook for landlords, but renters should be aware they are paying top-tier prices for what is essentially a glorified commuter hub with better-than-average apartment specs.
The Vibe:Ballybrit functions as the high-octane engine of Galway’s economy, dominated by the sprawl of the Racecourse and the massive industrial blocks of Parkmore. The area is defined by a relentless flow of med-tech professionals and the heavy morning crawl of traffic along the Monivea Road. You aren't here for historic charm; you're here because you work at Boston Scientific or Medtronic and want to bypass the city's gridlocked bridges.

Locals Ask
Does the average rent include parking?
Most newer builds in Ballybrit factor in one space, but don't expect extra guest spots without a fight or a permit.
Is the €32/m² price point common?
Only for high-spec apartments directly adjacent to the business parks where demand from corporate relocations drives m² stats to the limit.
How is the 409 bus reliability?
It’s the most frequent line in the city, but during peak hours, the Monivea Road traffic makes any schedule a mere suggestion.
What happens to the area during Race Week?
Total lockdown; if you don't enjoy crowds and surging prices, you'll want to rent your place out or leave town for the week.
Are there many amenities within walking distance?
It's fairly sparse; unless you're near Briarhill Shopping Centre, you'll be relying on your car or the bus for anything beyond a basic sandwich.
