Is the cost of living in Bray high?

"The cost of living in Bray, is considered to be relatively high compared to other parts of Ireland. Housing is one of the most significant expenses, with rental prices for apartments and houses being quite steep, especially for properties close to the city center or with sea views. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water is also substantial. Groceries in Bray can be expensive, with prices for food and drink items being higher than the national average. Eating out in restaurants, cafes, and pubs can also add up, particularly in tourist areas or more upscale establishments. Transportation costs in Bray can vary. While public transportation options like buses and trains are reasonably priced, owning and maintaining a car can be costly due to high petrol prices and insurance costs. Healthcare in Bray, like the rest of Ireland, can be expensive if you do not qualify for the public health system. Private health insurance, doctor's appointments, and medications can add to the cost of living. Education, if you have children, can also be a significant expense, especially for private schooling or third-level education. Despite these costs, many people find that the high quality of life, beautiful surroundings, and vibrant community in Bray make it worth the expense," wrote a member who made the move to Bray, Ireland.
