I've lived in Marlfield, Kiltipper for just over 5 years and am very happy with my choice. My house has appreciated in value over €150,000 since I first purchased it. Ok, at first, we had no bus routes or shops or pubs. This I accepted, because I knew that they’re arrival was not too far off in the future. Now, there are 2 regular bus routes (54A & 201) and 3 express bus routes (15X, 49X & 77X). I do drive so haven't used these much but the option is always there.
Shop wise, there’s Eurospar, a bookies, a pharmacy & launderette. Pub wise, there's the Kiltipper Cafe Bar where I spend most of my weekends. The company is good and the food served in the restaurant is excellent. I know the pub & restaurant managers personally and think that they are doing a great job. The BBQ’s on Saturdays & Sundays are going down exceptionally well.
Ok, Cushlawn & Killinarden are only across the road but the amount of people barred from the pub is colossal. A barring from The Old Mill means an automatic barring from the Café Bar, as the same bouncers are in employment. I personally know 4 people who are barred for little or nothing. I’ve no problem with this, as it means that I can enjoy my night out without any troubles from riffraff.
I live in a cul-de-sac which is very quiet and I am acquainted the majority of my neighbours. It is a very quiet road and I have never had any problems with noise. The traffic isn’t great in the mornings but where in Dublin is it? I think I have made a good decision to move to Kiltipper and have never had any regrets and I doubt that I ever will.
