Ballybeg North Rent Prices in Waterford 2026
Our Verdict
"Smart Money"
At a median of €17.8/m², you are paying for proximity to the college, not for luxury finishes. We've tagged this as SMART_MONEY because while the 2.0 rating reflects a lack of high-end amenities, the investment outlook is solid for those chasing consistent rental yields. If you're a tenant, you're accepting a trade-off: you get lower m² stats than the city center, but you'll be living in a high-turnover area that feels more like a campus annex than a quiet suburb.
The Vibe:This is a functional, high-density pocket defined by its proximity to the SETU Cork Road campus and the surrounding industrial estates. The landscape is dominated by practical terraced housing and student-heavy blocks where the sound of the W1 bus is a constant backdrop. It isn't pretty, but it’s where a huge chunk of Waterford’s workforce and student body actually lives.
The median rent price in Ballybeg North, Waterford is €17.8 per m² per month, 3% below the Waterford city average of €18.35/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Why is the Average Rent high for a peripheral area?
The proximity to SETU drives up m² stats as many properties are rented by the room to students, inflating the price per square meter compared to family homes.
Is parking a problem in Ballybeg North?
On-street parking is a total squeeze in the older terraces, especially when the college is in session and students overflow from campus lots.
How is the public transport?
The W1 and W2 bus routes are reliable, connecting you to the city center or the hospital every 10-15 minutes.
What is the typical Investment outlook here?
Extremely stable; there is a permanent shortage of student housing, ensuring that vacancy rates remain near zero for most of the year.
Is the neighborhood analysis based on many properties?
No, data is currently tight with limited neighborhood-specific data points, so prices can swing wildly depending on whether a whole house or a single apartment hits the market.
