About Irish Gold Management

Irish Gold is the premier University of Notre Dame off-campus student housing provider serving 900+ Notre Dame Students in over 125 properties. John Kennedy, one of our Founding Partners, like the majority of Notre Dame students, decided to live off campus his senior year in 2017. He thought this would be a good transition between on-campus housing and the real world that was waiting beyond graduation. Instead, he was faced with
terrible conditions and unresponsive management. This experience stuck with him and he has spent the last seven years developing Notre Dame’s largest off-campus housing portfolio to fundamentally change the experience for undergrad and graduate Domer’s to come. With this goal in mind, we have overhauled all aspects of the off campus experience. We have renovated and furnished our properties, focus on safety and security, provide
immediate maintenance response, offer weekly maid services, and much more.

Why People Choose Us

Full Renovations

Constructed out of high-quality materials and furnished with modern appliances, our apartments and homes are built to stand the test of time.

Furnished Homes

Starting school somewhere new is already stressful enough – don’t let expensive furniture and moving costs compound your worries. All of our properties are already fully-furnished with all of the essentials.

Parent Comforts

As a parent, your biggest concern is always your child’s safety. Fortunately, you can rest easy when your student lives with Irish Gold. All homes come pre-installed with ADT security systems and we have a private security patrol of all properties.

Cleaning Services

When you’re focused on midterms, the dishes can quickly pile up. That’s why Irish Gold offers weekly or monthly maid services to help out struggling students.
