both would be nice estates mainly owner occupied. i don't know church manor that well but knocknalyre is full of young families. you would never hear of any trouble or anti social behavior in either of these.

I live in Knocknalyre and it's a nice estate. Few minor issues with no one taking responsibility for the street lights in certain parts which means it can take a while to get them fixed when there's a problem.
We pay 50 quid a year which keeps the greens and a few road sweeps a year.
There's a lot of families with kids and those that are rented are generally to professionals or families.
I'm there 9 years now and wouldn't move unless it was for a bigger house outside of the town

Mayo Deputy Dara Calleary called on the Government to explain why it is forcing property taxes on homeowners in at least 57 ghost estates across Co Mayo.

Homeowners in these estates were rightly exempt from the household charge last year, but the Government has now said they are eligible to pay property taxes. Just 5 estates across the entire county will still be exempt.
Deputy Calleary said said, “It was only right that all of these unfinished estates across Co Mayo were exempt from the household charge last year. Many of the residents are young families who paid way over the odds for what is now a seriously devalued home. They are deep in negative equity, struggling to pay their mortgages and living in unfinished surroundings with no end in sight. And now Fine Gael plans to hit them with new taxes on their homes.

“The Government has tried to justify this by claiming that many of these unfinished estates have miraculously been completed and fixed over the past year. This will come as a surprise to the people living in dozens of estates across Mayo that are still clearly unfinished. These people are ordinary families who were abandoned by developers and are now stuck without the amenities and services they paid for.

There was an issue in Knocknalyre with very poor water pressure in some houses, not sure if it was ever resolved. Both estates have a good reputation besides.
