I too moved into the area at the start of the year, the location is great but my experience within the community is somewhat at variance with yours. For example, fireworks over the New Year were akin to a war zone, they never let up and people were even letting them off in front of their houses, no repercussions.I decided to come back and post here after moving into Dunard in D7, as this post came up when I was looking at houses and assessing neighbourhoods and I wanted to give some current feedback for anyone who is looking now! I could not be happier with my decision to buy here. The neighbours are absolutely lovely, it is so close to town (30 mins walk to top of Capel Street) and it is so convenient having the Tesco just minutes walk away, Lidl just a bit further down the road and one of the Phoenix Park side gates is barely 5 minutes' walk away - fantastic for anyone into walking, cycling etc.
Local kids do hang around the green but I don't feel uncomfortable walking through it, it's easily avoided anyway as it's all fenced off. There have been issues with kids and teens messing around in the Tesco, yelling and showing off to each other, and there's a fair bit of trash left around the road up to it. That is certainly not enough of a problem to cause any concern about living nearby though. Probably the odd household here and there that's a bit noisier but I don't think there's anywhere in central Dublin suburbs where that doesn't occur.
