Hi i am thinking about buying a place on abercorn road in east wall, just wondering about the train track and flooding and also the safety of the area, would really appreciate your thoughts!!

I'm only renting there since October so limited experience but as for your questions.

I'm not right beside the train track but near enough, it's not hugely noisy and becomes background noise after a while. Have a 14 month old who is never woken by it during his naps or when he's gone to bed early.

Flooding I couldn't tell you, earlier on this thread someone mentioned flooding has occured in the past and to be wary of houses with brand new floors placed. There's been some heavy rain at times since I've been here and hasn't pooled that much though I can see by the dips at the road where it could happen in extreme or lengthy rainfalls.

Since I've been here it's been quiet as a mouse though I havn't had a chance to experience a summer here when more carry on goes on in most places, but like I said it's been perfectly safe and quiet so far. PM me if you have any more specific questions.

Hi there

I am looking at possibly buying a house in Eastwall. Can anyone offer me any advice ? There seems to be a mixed bag of thoughts on areas in Eastwall, I suppose it's the same as any area these days, you can have trouble in the "safest" of places.

I am currently looking around Shelmalier road. Can anyone tell me what it is like ? Would you buy there?

I'd say the Grand Canal Theatre should be fine. As for the shopping centre, god only knows. Its a real shame, but I'm not that surprised.

Nothing will happen. NAMA will treat like any other property management company would to try and get as much as possible for the tax payer.

Scortho · 20-04-2013 12:16am

it'll be fine. They should have no problem selling it either. It has bookings up until 2016.
I could see someone like LiveNation coming in and taking it on.

LiveNation already take care of the day to day running of the theatre.

Yep and own 50% of the O2 as well but that isn't effected. They know the numbers and with a debt write down probably know that the theatre would be sustainable.

Either Lidl or Aldi are due to open there during the summer.

Any link to that? would be good to see a development like that

Mr Simpson · 23-04-2013 1:32pm

Aldi aren't opening in the shopping centre. They're opening on East Wall Road, their building is finished externally.

Seems to be fair bit of activity on east wall recently, the aldi is opening and the garage beside is getting reopened from the looks of things

Much needed jobs !

Mr Simpson · 23-04-2013 3:08pm

Great to see, if they could finish the Island Key(??) development and get a retailer in, that would really help. I'm slightly confused as to why Aldi are building apartments when there are so many empty apartments in the area

Mr Simpson · 23-04-2013 3:11pm

Merged with East Wall Thread as it's quite relevant to the area

I live around the corner from Shelmalier Road and a friend has recently started renting there. It's fine, no worse than any other area in East Wall I would think. Though if you were buying there, I'd try to buy as close to the Caledon Road end as possible.

They have money and time and construction is cheap.

Where exactly is it? By reference to streets, not pubs

Mr Simpson · 24-04-2013 10:00pm

On East Wall Road, next to the Ford garage. Between Forth Road and Church Road (but on the opposite side)

risteardo · 25-04-2013 5:13pm

Busy junction, going to be even busier. Wonder if we'll see some traffic lights, or a pedestrian crossing?
