    Hi,

    I'm not that familar with the area around Dalkey but I see a number of houses for sale in the St. Begnet's Villas estate.
    Could anyone share their thoughts on the area. Looking for a house in an area suitable for a new born baby.

    Thanks
    Glen

    I live there and love it. Moved in 5 years ago. Nice mix of long-timers and inheritors of houses plus newbies like myself. Solid houses but we got a lot of extra insulation and switched to gas fired heating there last year. Could probably do with getting in new windows but that's next year's project.

    It's very quiet, parking can be an issue if you don't have off-street. You get parents of kids going to Cuala parking in the estate a bit.

    Very very handy for the village which has some great shops. Also only a 10 minute walk to DART and (though with a new-born you might not make use of it) the 7N nitelink serves the village as does the Aircoach from right outside Begnet's.

    Really glad I moved here. One thing is i'd put your kids name down for a school asap.

    Friends live there with their kids and I can echo all of the above
