Galway blends a fast-growing university city with the wild expanse of Connemara and the fertile plains of the east. Housing spans compact city apartments, commuter estates in Oranmore and one-off homes across the Gaeltacht.
Local demand: The city's student and tech population fuels renovation and rental upgrades, while Connemara's exposed builds need serious roofing, rendering and heating work.
