Living in Sandyford?

We have an opportunity to move to either Stillorgan or Sandyford, sharing a house with friends. Stillorgan I know well but I've never set foot in Sandyford & can only think of Sandyford Industrial Estate, I never have time to drive there to have a better look at the area and we need to decide soon, actually the Sandyford option sounds better re: rent/rooms. What is Sandyford like? Any pubs shops chippers local life? Thanks!

To be honnest, Sandyford doesnt Really have much of a local life. Saying that, You are only minutes away from the LUAS and stillorgen

Handy also if you want to escape into the hills - the three rock mtn is within walking distance.

in depends on where in sandyford you are talking about really, there are a lot of spread out developments.

Go for Stillorgan.

Sandyfords nice but there's not a lot there, plus the traffic in the mornings is bedlam and the Sandyford road will be closed again in January, will make it far worse again.

Stillorgan has lots of local amenities, close to the Luas etc.
