Re: Shankill south Dublin Buying a house
If you were thinking of Shankill I would look more towards Corbawn, Quinns Road if you can afford it (I'm sure there are loads of other nice areas also).... I remember when I started looking there I was told to try to keep to the right hand side of Corbawn Lane heading towards the sea..... Rathsallagh had a rep before but I think it's fairly settled now.....
Personally I lived on Corbawn Drive and loved every minute of it.... Shankill has good facilities, parkland with good new playground, coastal walks etc.... Access to town is great with the DART/bus corridors and M50, M11 is only minutes away..... as mentioned earlier it is a good place to bring up kids..... We reluctantly left due to relocating down the country and we do miss it. It's safe to say that if we decided to move back to Dublin we would look first in this area....
Best Of Luck with it.....
PS To balance some of the previous comments on <reference to named individual removed> I remember a house went up for sale on our road with them and they achieved a certain offer price (I won't mention it).... 2 weeks later there was a DNG sign outside the same house - the vendor was persuaded to move agent and got 40K more - this was in the height of the boomtimes..... I think it's fair to say all agents pushed for the higher prices and you can't just single out one particular one....
