Cherrywood / Loughlinstown

Hi, I'm just wondering can anyone help me regarding this area. Are there many undesirables etc, what are surrounding areas like? The main draw for me is it is going to be near the Luas when its finished, I work in Sandyford myself but do not want to buy a dog box apartment there or in Dundrum. I have been mainly looking in Lucan seeing as the Luas will be out there in a few years and most houses on the south side are out of my price range so I hadn't really been looking there.

This is the area I was looking in, there are a number of bungalows for sale here.

Would you prefer rich undesirables or poor undesirables. The general area is mixed with some quiet estates and some not so quiet estates.

While it may be useful for getting to Sandyford, the jury is still out as to whether it will be useful for getting to the city. Its due to open later this year, upsets aside. The N11 QBC is also useful.

It may be more than a few years, although there is the railway and the N4 QBC as a back-up.

Thanks Victor. When you say the Luas may not be any use for getting to the city what exactly do you mean? As far as I was aware it is linking up with the current green line to Stephens green. Are you just making reference to the fact that it will likely be very congested on the trams themselves?

I don't discriminate when it comes to undesirables be they rich or poor, what can I say, I'm a nice guy

Hopefully I'll have a viewing on a couple of properties in the area this week. If anyone has any opinions of the particular estate that the above property is located in that would be great. Would I have any rough areas to walk through to get to the Luas or say from the nearest nitelink stop?

It may be quicker to get the 145 on the N11 rather than having to allow the Luas wind its way through south county Dublin.

from the estate, you would need to cross the bridge over the N11 - you can then see the viaduct that carriers the Luas in front of you.

While you might get a seat going to the city, it might be difficult coming back. There is a risk of crowding.
