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.
