WHich apartments are you looking at, the new block or the old one?

It's a lovely location, with stunning views and within healthy walking distance of the City Centre.

Most tenants there are Medical Professionals or those doing PHds etc.

Hi,
UPC is is not available there as far as I know, I have a friend who lived there upw to last year and couldn't get it. You can put the address into the UPC website as if you were to order a package and it will tell you.

Hi everybody,

We are also looking at moving into the River Towers. Unfortunately we do not have a car, so public transport is a must.
How far walking is it to the nearest bus stop? Are there any shops in walking distance?

My place of work will be in Ballincollig, with the bus just on the other side of The Lee. Is the nearest bridge also in walking distance?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

It is a healthy walk, but not too long to be impractical.

Thanks. What exactly is a healthy walk for you? Can you give me an idea in minutes? :-) And did you mean the walk to the nearest bus into town, or the one across the river to Ballincollig?

You could walk to the bus stops on Western road in 15-30 minutes, depending how fast a walker you are. Its a bit more of an epic trek to Ballincollig.

Like the walk those lads on the lord of the rings did, only with more orks and less Elves.
About the same number of dwarves and Hobbits though

4 Guards waiting at the lift when my missus was leaving ours a few minutes ago, they had a battering ram with them. At least that's what I think it is based on her description...

I'd say that was related to the murder of the Polish man last week. Paul Byrne reported Gardai raided a number of homes early this morning, including one on the Lee Road.
