No info, but they are constructing fast (compared to the ones in Cuil Duin). I passed the site everyday on the luas, looks lovely - spacious red brick houses, easy commute. Not sure about the community though.

Apparently launching in April..

I was told by sherry Fitz I think it is whom are selling them that they will be priced similar to silken park. He said starting at 300k.

For what it's worth the next phase of cuil duin is launching and they are going to be from 295k

12Highroller

There seems to be an issue causing serious delay on the Cuil Duin site. Contracts were heavily delayed after booking deposits paid last summer/ autumn. Nobody has moved in yet and phase two is hitting the market next week.

I pass the houses at Citywest village everyday (including weekends). The initial phase seems more or less finished as of yesterday. Launch for those registered on the website is next week apparently.

Hi guys. I got an email yesterday about the launch next week. Does anyone know which day its going to be? the email gave no firm details. Frustrating as I pass the site everyday and the guys on site don't have any details either. Yet this is happening next week???? Deposit needs to be organised and ready so I'll need a few days notice at least.

Organise the deposit today to go to your current account if you have it in a savings account.. then go to the viewing and tell them you will do a transfer online. They will give you a few days for it to transfer from your account to theirs, just email them to show that you have made the transfer.

What price region are they starting at?

Would the area be suitable for a family with small kids?House looks really nice but the reputation of districts beside worry me a bit...

I cannot find any details about the floor plans for different houses or price from the website citywestvillage.ie. anyone have any idea.

Aph2016

Does anyone know the official launch date? Unsure about the location in the middle of a business Park. I read online there's plans for 340 more houses and 60 apartments.

Houses look great online.

conormc1984

Still doesn't seem to details on the official launch date had anyone heard anything.

The main website is updated now and has a brochure with plan attached.

I got an email from Sherry Fitz this morning with a link to join a ''dedicated hub'' .. I created a log in and no further details on that about launch or prices Im afraid

conormc1984

I phoned them there they said an email will be going out shortly with launch date.

Drove out for a look tonight. Security guy said they are expecting 450 people tomorrow :eek:

Anyone going up?

Houses are absolutely stunning but I'd be concerned at how close they are situated to bad areas of tallaght

Jobstown is a bit too close for my taste. Would be worried about burglary...

300k to live in Brookfield
The bubble is back!

Merowig

The houses look really nice from the outside (I didn't manage to visit them) and I work in Citywest so that would be handy - though my wife works in another part of Dublin and I don't mind commuting.

Apparently a school and shops should be built as well there.
So far there is a Spar on the Business Campus which closes at 18.00, you have a Lidl and the Citywest Shopping Center with a Dunnes in ~1km distance and then Saggart a bit further down the line. The Luas makes ~45/50 minutes to City Center, Dublin Bus close to 1 hour.
Though am not sure it is pleasent to hear the Luas all day long.

sullydublin

I had a look at these on Saturday. Nice looking house with a very good finish
Bad points being to near Brookfield and Ard Mor. No natural gas supply to the house. No parking arrangements as some houses have no front gardens. Back gardens are very tight for space.  
Positives being, Luas on your doorstep ,  Low management fees , Security patrols of estate. 
On personal level i'd rather buy in the older parts such as Westbrook due to getting A semi detached with gardens etc

CitywestMan

Did anyone book a house there ? It would be good to know if you were able to use the Help to Buy and when the tentative completion date is

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Hi All, [/font]

[font=Arial, sans-serif]I am really interested in buying a new home in Citywest Village, the only thing holding me back is that it is literally around the corner from Brookfield & Jobstown. [/font]

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Should this hold me back on a house I really like and I think is good value for what it is? [/font]

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Would also like to hear from some people who have just bought / considering buying in Citywest Village. [/font]

[font=Arial, sans-serif]I look forward to hearing some advice, thanks in advance.[/font]

Merowig

My understanding is that there will be private security patrolling there. The Business park also has private security patrolling as well nearby.

Up to you to deceide if this will be enough. In any case I would consider the installation of burglary alarm, CCTV and a good home insurance.

New Home Help

Thank you for your reply Merowig. Much appreciated! 

I would be really interested in hearing from someone that has their name down on one of these houses also

CitywestMan

I've bought a 3 bed house there and I have to admit it's not quite Ranelagh but comparing it to some of the other new developments, it's a good deal and construction quality/speed looks good.

There is always some 'dodgy area' near everything in Dublin - The Parkside development in Clongriffin has Darndale closeby as well.

I've seen kids throw rocks at passerbys at Spencer Dock and Custom House quay in broad daylight - 1 out of 5 Irish kids doesn't go to school and this anti social behaviour is unavoidable.

The LUAS Red line helps and the sprawling business campus right nextdoor would mean you will always have excellent rental potential from the thousands of international professionals who seek residence close to work.

The Lidl close by should be handy too. The only things I have concerns about are the lack of playground/spaces for children and if the estate would have a boundary/fence.

Apart from that - its a decent investment especially if you work around the neighborhood or city centre where the luas offers direct connectivity.

If the proximity to Brookfield bothers you, try Rathcoole down the road.

Citywest Man, thank you very much for your reply. You are so right, I don't know if I am overthinking the area too much! It's only because I don't know anyone that lives in that area and it is a quite nerve wrecking being a first time buyer. 
Have you questioned if there would be a boundary / fence around the estate? 
Thank you again for your reply

Missed out on phase one myself and am interested in Phaes 2 myself, been told it will be end of September/October.
Anyone know what will be on sale in Phase 2 launch. 
Anyone that bother how long are they being told that it will be till its ready to move in, are the dates on time. ?
I was told that there will only be the red type bushes around the perimeter of the complex, like that of the one at the main entrance.

New Home Help

Cormac are you from around the area or what has you interested in moving there?
Sorry I don't know how long construction takes, but heard the same, Phase 2 release in Sept / Oct.
That's right, I got info yesterday that it's the Red bushes surrounding, and it's just gates at the Front which are already there

Merowig

A bit sad that Dublin already has a justified demand for gated communities.

"I've seen kids throw rocks at passerbys at Spencer Dock and Custom House quay in broad daylight - 1 out of 5 Irish kids doesn't go to school and this anti social behaviour is unavoidable."



It's ok for Feral children to carry on like this but if your dog merely barks at someone aggressively there is trouble from all sides! Why aren't parents made to be responsible for their children's behaviour? A dog needs a licence but kids creating trouble are ok!

xpletiv

So if phase 2 is being released in Sept/Oct, how long would construction take, and getting in?

CitywestMan

The current phase was sold in April-17 and has a completion date of Feb-18 ( tentative). So I would say its safe to assume 10 months from Phase launch - so Oct 17 bookings would be ready by Aug 18

Premier!

Hi folks,

Seem to be in a similar situation to a few people here. My wife and I considering phase two of these houses. We both work in city center so would be availing of the luas. We are looking at second hand homes around the city at the minute and they are all just so small and expensive (though many have lovely huge gardens!) and unlikely to appreciate much, it is difficult not to be tempted by a brand new house, though the commute is the pay off. Also the lack of that village atmosphere in the citywest area is a downside. Other new developments around the city are just too expensive or just in the wrong areas for us (both originally from south of the country so would like to be that side of Dublin).

I guess the one thing we don't know is what phase 2 prices will look like compared to phase 1. Often you can add on 40,000 based on previous development launches which would be a pity to say the least!

Are there show houses on view regularly does anyone know or is it just before a launch they open them?

conormc1984

Cant see them going up 40K, that would just be ludacris. They may go up 5K but that is just my thinking, Sept seems a long way away waiting for the launch. 
Show houses aren't opened, its only for the launch.

CitywestMan

Going by the trend in nearby projects ( like Cuil Duin) - the price rise between phases is approx 10k-15k per unit ( 3 bed). I don't see the prices going crazy high in Phase 2 since Rathcoole Projects & Cuild Duin subsequent phases would be competitive and keep the prices in check.

Considering you'd easily be paying Double of this anywhere in a mature area for a house same size/specs - I think its a no brainer to sign up while the HTB scheme is still available.

Premier!

Ya fair points. Out of interest, had you a particular house in mind from the plans and were you able to secure it in phase one? Or did you have to settle for whatever was left? Was there any of this queuing nonsense?!

CitywestMan

It was down to the last 3 houses by the time I got to speak to a sales rep , the 'South facing garden' ones and good corner houses were all gone within the first hour

Citywest Man, when was it you purchased yours when the 3 houses were left? Which did you go for?
