It's a very nice quiet area, with a mix of families, elderly people and students. A number of apartments developments were built there during the boom, some of which still seem empty or unsold.

You're right in saying that there aren't many shops or outlets for socialising. Some would say the best thing about the area is that it has good transport links to the city centre and to slightly more lively places like Blackrock or Sandymount villages.

Shopping is probably going to be a bus/dart/drive away. Your options would be Tesco in Merrion and Stillorgan or Superquinn in Blackrock.

To summarise it's a good family area, but that might not suit your needs.

Booterstown isnt somewhere I'd live without a car but it is a lovely quiet part of Dublin. The Frascati and Blackrock shopping centres would be the most local to you there and they are only one stop away on the dart. I think you should go for it. If you're not driving there's a lot to be said for living on the dart line.
