Hello,
My wife and I and our 1 year old baby daughter are moving to County Wexford in September. I am from the U.K and am looking for general advice on the area?

We do not need to be in the centre of a town and quite happy being in the countryside....

I run my own business from home so will not need to be commuting...

Any nice areas to live? I am 34, my wife 29....

We had a long weekend in Gorey, which seemed like a really nice town.

We lived in wexford County for more than a year. We are from Florida, but I am a dual US - Irish and decided to live there for a short time and use Ireland as a base for other travel within Ireland and other places in Europe. We were able to rent in a Senior Village of small new houses but I do not believe you would qualify unless one of you have a disability since it is restricted to retirees or disabled. However, there were rental properties in some of the towns that are open to all ages. Ours was in Enniscorthy which we liked very much. Another nice Town is New Ross. Both these towns have Dentists, Doctors, varied supermarkets for shopping and I have seen apartments and houses for rent. It has been about 2 years since we left the area so I don't know the rental situation now. I do know, housing is very short in Dublin so some people that work in Dublin commute from towns as far South as Gorey, Camolin, or even Ferns which are close to the M11 highway to Dublin. I know you said you will work from home, but I am telling you where there may not be so many rentals available due to commuters. Enniscorthy is about the limit for someone to commute to Dublin as it takes 2 hours or so. Bus Eireann and Weford coach lines have good schedules into Dublin and even have special direct express buses morning and evening for commuters. From Enniscorthy there is a train station with about 5 trains a day each way. No trains from New Ross last I knew. You may also find rentals in Wexford Town itself, but I am not that familiar with what is available there. Shopping is good in all 3 towns mentioned. You can contact O'Conner & O'Conner Estate Agents at +353-53-937-7147 and ask for Barty. Make sure you tell him you are not retirement age and you heard about them from "The American that lived in Castle Gardens". They cover a wide area near Enniscorthy and New Ross. He probably is as honest as Irish Estate agents can be. Hahaha. If you have specific questions you can contact me directly with your questions.
