Mountain View, Churchtown, Dublin 14 - review before buying

blockfighter

Hi all. This is my first time posting to Boards.ie so I hope I'm putting this message in the right place.

I'm thinking about buying a house in the Nutgrove area of Dublin 14. Mountain view Park to be precise. Was just wondering if people have any insight as to what the area is like to live?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This area is known locally as holylands and has had a very bad reputation in the past. I think it has improved somewhat in recent years but this is a house where you should definitly take the advice you have heard many times before and go sit in your car and see what goes on at different times of the night and day and you will make your own mind up fairly quickly i think. also note that this is a popular route for the driving test from the rathgar centre there are at least two popluar reverse around the corner spots etc, just something to note as it may annoy some people (it is not something that would bother me though).

Otherwise it is close to dundrum, marlay park, m50 etc.
