Housing in Ireland is among the most expensive and most affordable in the EU. How does that happen?
Its location, a short drive from an access pont to the N7 and M7, means Dublin city centre is about 40-minute drive away, while Newbridge train station is a 10-minute drive from the development, and there are a number of buses to Dublin from the town centre. It’s about 30 minutes’ drive from the Red Cow Luas redline stop and 45 minutes from Dublin Airport. It is also convenient to the M50, allowing access to a network of motorways.
In terms of amenities, Newbridge is surrounded by big sporting facilities, including the recently refurbished Curragh Racecourse and the Curragh Golf Club, in addition to a large variety of gyms and leisure centres. There are plenty of eateries and shops nearby, including at Whitewater Shopping Centre and Kildare Village. It is also close to the Curragh Plains, which offer miles of open green space for walking.
