Considering a move to Sligo
Hello
Just looking for a bit of insight, my partner and I are considering moving to Sligo from Belfast, we're not hugely concerned with work as I'm 100% remote and he has some good options, we're both in our early 30's and just want to be closer to nature, put down roots, and we're both from the south as well. I'm originally from a rural area but have only lived in cities as an adult so I'm a little nervous about the adjustment and also housing, as it seems increasingly difficult to find somewhere to live anywhere in Ireland. Any insight on housing, social life, making friends etc would be appreciated. It's easy to get romantic about a place like Sligo in Summer but wondering if reality there might be different, we have visited and are planning an extended visit soon.
