Nice area's in Tallaght?

supersizeme · 2011-01-28 14:18:22

Hi, Im originally from Clondalkin and now looking for somewhere new to rent, I've been checking out a few places in the south county Dublin area and a lot of places pop up in the Tallaght area but I'm unsure of what these estates are like to live in. Obviously some area's can have a bad rep so just wondering where in…

When I was looking to buy I looked in Kingswood a lot, and missed out on a few places in there due to bidding wars going on!

Good areas in Tallaght include Bancroft, Old Bawn, most of Aylesbury, Kingswood, and Belgard Heights. Slightly down from that you would have Springfield, the areas left and right of the Seskin View Road (Newbawn, Milbrook, Mountain Park), Watergate, and Balrothery. Bottom of the pile would be Jobstown, Killinarden, Bolbrook, Tymon North.

It really can vary from street to street in some parts though.

Post up the ads of a few places you have in mind.

I live in Tallaght.

If I were you I'd go slightly up the road and rent in Citywest (past the shopping centre, not before it in Jobstown).

Belgard, Kingswood, Old Bawn and Kilnamanagh are all fine spots.

U can't go far wrong with Old Bawn in Tallaght and surrounding. I used to rent in Ellensborough up the Kiltipper road, not bad either.

Good luck

Agree with that. Never liked City West, too far out and a lot of rentals.

Why not move to a decent area like Terenure or even Templeogue?

All of the mentioned areas are exactly as "decent" as Terenure or Templeogue - normal middle class areas, except with better transport links, facilities and amenities.
