About Galliagh
Galliagh is a residential neighbourhood that won't break the bank. Your monthly living costs come to around £463, compared to a UK average of £640, and council tax is roughly half the national figure. Families get a good deal here too — there are two primary schools in the neighbourhood itself, plus five more nearby. If you need post-primary education, there's an option on Glengalliagh Road.
Crime's dropped significantly in 2026, sitting at about 16 incidents a month. That puts it in line with the Northern Ireland average and well below UK levels. The A2 gives you straightforward road access into Derry city centre, though everyday amenities and public transport are thin on the ground, so having a car makes sense.
Rental demand is picking up. Average rents climbed from £778 to £826 a month between 2024 and 2025.
