hi crush, i live in royal oak. Some reasons why it is nice, lots of green areas for recreation, nice neighbours, at least on our street, quiet enough neighbourhood, hsve never seen any hassle. The houses are newer than Lorcan and Shanowen which means that any work needing to be done might involve less gutting. The only negative is that approx 20-25% of estate is rented so houses look a little unkempt. If you want to know anymore just ask!
