Tralee is the county town of Kerry — compact, affordable, and easy to get around on foot. Most room demand comes from MTU Kerry students and staff at Kerry University Hospital, but the town's growing tech and tourism sectors bring professionals looking for rooms too. Whether you're near the campus or in the town centre, everything in Tralee is within a 15-minute walk. Here's where to look, area by area.
The student side of town
The go-to area for MTU Kerry students — a short walk from campus through the back gate. Mostly purpose-built student housing and semi-detached estates, with Dunnes Stores and takeaways on the Clash Road. Affordable and social, but quieter than town centre living.
