    I might be buying a house in this estate. The front of the estate looks lovely with the green area and all the trees and it looks well looked after.

    The house I'm looking at buying is at the back of this estate and to be honest it's not as nice around the the back, it's not as well looked after and is in need of a bit of love. There is also a small apartment block in the middle of the houses around the back, I would love to get a better idea of the people who live in this estate? Is it a lot of rented accommodation or owner occupied? I'll be moving here with a 9 year old boy so I want to make the right decision. Any feedback on this estate would be greatly appreciated as I love the house itself. Thanks in advance.

    Nice safe area.
    Your neighbours will mostly be owner occupiers in negative equity.
    Good location, parks, Dundrum SC, schools etc.
    I don't live there myself but know the area very well.

    Thanks for the reply it's great to get a better insight before I sign the dotted line.

    Yep, its safe. I've lived around that area most of my life, in fact I am buying a house nearby on Stocking Lane very soon :)

    You have the city so close to you, the 15B bus is only a few minutes walk away and yet you have the very scenic Dublin mountains also on your door step.

    That's good to know. Once the mortgage has come through I'll be signing for the house. I've been driving up there a lot to check the area out and it seems to be a nice family orientated area. I think its the right decision. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks a mill.
