Meadowbank

Hi - I was just looking at places to rent in Letterkenny on Daft.ie. I came across 2 places in Meadowbank, 4 double bed house, and 5 double bed house, both €100 weekly. It seems a bit too good to be true, as the houses seem to be in pretty good knick. Anybody ever lived up there? Whats the area like?

it did have a bad rep for a while OP, meadowbank is just off a road called 'the long lane', there are a good few cul de sacs further up this road that are actully nice to live in, are very convenient for the town and hospital, and about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the IT and bus station.

theres another thread on the forum that also identify a few nice areas around letterkenny you might want to look at as well.

Disagree. It was bad for a while but it's no worse than anywhere else now.

Stephendevlin, I've deleted your description of the estate, I know the area fairly well and i'm yet to hear it being called that, also i'm sure anyone who lives / knows someone who lives in the estate wouldn't take to kindly to your words, please chose your words more carefully next time, we'll leave it at that.

Thanks Homer
