Price Comparison: What can I buy in Galway for under €500,000?

From Ballinasloe to Headford, take a look at these spacious detached homes.

WITH PROPERTY ACROSS the country in such high demand, it can be really hard to get an idea of what your money will get you. 

That’s why each week, we pick a number of homes in a specific county, to make things a little easier to comprehend. 

This week, we’re looking at properties around Galway with an asking price of €500,000 or less.

Four-bed, detached, Ballinasloe – €375,000

Tullywicky is a modern home with a brightly lit hallway thanks to its double aspect and glazed front door. The living room is laid in solid wood floors, grabs light from all angles and has a feature fire place. The kitchen and dining room is a large open plan space with carbon grey units that contrast with the wood countertops. The hallway the also leads to the large bedrooms – three of the four are doubles on the ground floor 

The house is located just a 15 minute drive from the motorway and Galway city is reachable within a half an hour, so the train station is close by for any hybrid workers who need to keep their connection to another city. There’s a pick of primary and secondary schools close by and a school bus service passes the front door

Four-bed, detached, Headford – €450,000

This family home in Kiltrasna overlooks Lough Corrib. Energy efficient and spacious, it’s set in the countryside yet Galway city is just 20 minutes away. Even though it was in 2002, it uses an air to water heat pump, a vented air space heating and air conditioner and is insulated well giving it a C1 BER. The rooms spread over 200 m² and that doesn’t include the floored attic space 

The bedrooms are nicely-sized, are flooded with natural light and have wide plank natural oak floors. The smallest bedroom has renovation potential if three bedrooms are enough.
