9 reasons to move to Monasterevin right now
Monasterevin doesn't quite get the recognition it deserves for being the generally awesome place that it is, so it's time to let you in on a few local secrets.
Here are 9 reasons why Monasterevin is one of the best places to live.
1. Direct rail links to Dublin
Thanks to Irish Rail commuting to Dublin has never been easier. Since the re-opening of the train station at Monasterevin, you can now get to Heuston station in less than 50 minutes and then you've the option to take the Luas or bus to wherever you work.
Ah, the best of the both worlds.
2. Dog friendly
Kildare folk love their dogs.
And, thankfully there's no shortage of open spaces around Monasterevin for your furry friend to run around and have some fun. From the canal to the forest, your dog will think they're on a permanent holiday.
3. You'll get a good night's kip
With less traffic and fewer people, you're guaranteed to get a much better night's sleep - next time you visit your pals in the big smoke, you'll be bringing them back with you!
The only thing likely to wake you up in the morning is probably one of these fellas.
4. Friends for life
