We have started searching for a new house and we're focusing on the following areas as they are near enough to family. We have a new baby and are planning on expanding our family in the coming years so our priorities are the proximity of good schools and amenities, and ideally a nice community of young families like ourselves.
If anyone lives in, or has any feedback on, the following areas I would be really grateful.
Holywell, Goatstown
- seems like a nice neighbourhood, lots of young families. Close to luas and schools.
Ballintyre, Ballinteer
- as above, lots of young families. Creche, schools, Superquinn, 14 and 16 bus all close by. SLight concerns about parking as the 3 beds are only given 1 designated space. There are 'blank' spaces for a second car apparently.
Carrickmines Chase
- a bit further than we wanted from town but a great house in what feels like quite an exclusive area. The luas is a walk away as are creche and school in The Park.
Grangefield, Ballinteer
- small development, just behind Ballintyre so same amenities.
Lakelands, Stillorgan
- very established area, quite a good house available in terms of internal upgrade but perhaps the neighbourhood is full of older people and therefore very quiet. Close to luas and schools.
Stillorgan Wood
- quite exclusive. Close to luas and schools as above.
Thanks in advance!
