Dundalk has a good supply of keenly-priced period houses and three-bedroom semis can be found for around £110,000. The Cooley mountains and beaches at Blackrock are great amenities and there is a strong arts following in the town. Being so close to Newry creates an interesting border-town atmosphere and both Belfast and Dublin airports are equidistant for business travel. The Enterprise Dublin/Belfast train is comfortable, fast and efficient.
