Looking for recommendation for a safe neighbourhood in Porlaoise.

I'm retiring from the public sector in a few months and looking at Portlaoise or thereabouts for a house.
I would be grateful for any suggestions for a friendly, safe area to settle in.
Is Esker hill a good place? etc. I realise that nowhere is perfect, but just would like a reasonable suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, Esker Hills is a nice spot, just avoid Buttercup Avenue
(Boarded up apartments, Windows covered in cages, etc.)

Bellingham is nice too.
There is a really pleasant place down by the peoples park.

Lots of places!

Would you consider Abbeyleix, if the thereabouts takes you out of Portlaoise.
