    Living in the area a while now, moved from south side... Absolutely love the area. So handy for everything!

    Zero bother in it at all. Few Young lads roaming around causing no issues. Great facilities in the area. I've lived in a number of places around Dublin and county and this has been the one place that felt like home for me.

    Recommend it to anyone. And rambler is grand with a decent pint, other pubs are good as well. Can't go wrong

    There 2 new builds coming onto the market soon on Killester park, near the shops with the Ramble in. Wonder what that specific area is like? I know a lot of Killester is decent but looks a bit rough around there. Any advice is most welcome.

    Absolutely fine. A great area. You'll get a few characters in the Ramble Inn and you'll see them outside having a cigarette but there's no issues.

    Have to agree, I live 200 yards away and it's fine. Great place to live. And rambler has its characters but certainly has a decent pint... Characters are ok too!!

    Killester is lovely ( and becoming very expensive. Clanawley Rd. or any of the "Clan" roads is not in Killester, they are in Donneycarney. Close is no cigar.

    Just for reference, here is the location: https://goo.gl/maps/QW5HgJ5wsw12

    Would this be considered Killester or Donnecarney?

    That's Killester alright, the other side of Killester Ave is Donnycarney though

    Just about in Killester, like Belcoo is barely in NI.

    Just so you know, Donnyer had a reputation as a rough quarter 30-40 years ago, like many other council estates, but it's fairly settled now, but as with many other areas, some residents like to call their area Killester, just as some Killester residents like to pretend they live in Clontarf.
