    hi there,
    I am looking for some advice on where to live in the North East Region please. We want to live in a pretty village but struggling to find one that hasnt been attacked by housing estates.....:)
    So far we like Termokfeckin, seapoint, blackrock and carlingford. (but a face value decision dont know what they 'really like')

    We have 1 child (2 1/2yrs) so schools are a consideration and another reason why we wanted to get away from the conjested areas like drogheda , bettystown etc.

    most importantly we are looking for (or live near to):
    -sense of community
    -good school ratios ie not overcrowded!
    -setting, village, small range of shops, pub, tea room that sort of thing

    your recommendations would be appreciated. I know its possibly a tall order !!!!!!!!!

    From that list I would reccommend Termonfeckin. I live quite closeby and find it a pleasant spot, if a little light on shops etc.

    Carlingford is picturesque if a llittle close to Dundalk for comfort...:D

    +1 for Termonfeckin

    I used to live very near to there and it's lovely, definately ticks all the boxes you mentioned.

    Has Termonfeckin not been attacked by housing estates then???
    How about Annagassan? Small, picturesque, very little development and has a very small range of shops. Nice place and nice people.

    I dont know of any plans for mass housing in Annagassan, though I would doubt it. There have been a lot of new builds in Catlebellingham lately, though they dont seem to be able to give them away. I saw some advertised at the weekend below 200k.
