Location and estate for Diswellstown is much superior I think. Reasons are much better entrance, looks more private and mature as you drive in. The distance to shops between both estates are basically the same. The front houses in Hamilton would obviously be closer but as I'm going for the 4bed which is quite far back then I think Diswellstown would be as close.
One of the main reasons though would be the traffic. When complete you will have 400 units in hamilton vs 119 in Diswellstown so Hamilton will be much more congested. Also access to the m50 and towards the city centre would be much faster from Diswellstown
SIGNIFICANT ADDITONAL INFORMATION / REVISED PLANS RECEIVED 14TH AUGUST 2009:- The revisions include a reduction in the overall number of residential units from 538 to 450 now comprising 16 detached houses, 93 semi-detached houses, 124 terraced houses, 25 duplex units and 192 apartments...
Just beware the gardens issue with the Lavery in Hamilton Park. They are north facing and have an unattractive treeline that goes up to gutter height. The kitchen is very long (5 metres?), and is lit by a small enough window. It could be alright, its just you don't know until you are sitting in it
I would have thought that traffic jam out of Hamilton Park would be worse than any jam of Diswellstown Manor, as the road out of Diswellstown Manor joins the road by castleknock college after luttrellstown/ hamilton park/ bracken / collegefort etc.
I have viewed both the new estates and yes they are really lovely, the plans for the 3 beds in Diswellstown Manor look good and the Hamilton Park 3 bed show houses were also nice, but 395k does seem very expensive for a three bed in the area, especially when there are some great secondhand houses for sale within a kilometre radius for up to 100k less. In Fernleigh for example there are some well kept 3 beds going with decent gardens and nice aspects, some with designated parking. These houses are only 12-14 years old so a lot of them have been well maintained and are in walk in condition.
At the end of the day choosing a house in the area really is a matter of personal preference and budget, but for anyone looking for a 3 bed concerned that 395k might be a little steep, there are other estates close by with some good houses that are significantly cheaper and worth checking out.
