    Anyone looking at these? They just put their brochure live today at https://greenwood.ie/

    We've been looking around Malahide for a house around this size and price for some time with little luck (ended up on the wrong side of a couple of bidding wars), obviously in Kinsealy you'd be a lot more car dependent but still a very short drive away from lots of great amenities.

    We've viewed some of the other recent new estates further up Kinsealy lane which look to be similar quality houses for a higher price but what I really found off-putting was how densely populated they were with the houses on top of each other - this estate looks a lot more reasonably spaced.

    I don't think Kinsealy is what it was years ago about 15 years ago. It is overbuilt now.

    No advice really.

    Isn't that the same for any area? Look at the surrounding areas... could say the same... Malahide, Portmarnock etc.

    I’d take these over Robswall houses any day which are selling around 900k for terraces 2nd hand. Both need a car.

    Re greenwood kinsealy

    A friend of mine has been trying to buy one of these houses for the last three months. But is getting the runaround from the estate agent. Anyone else having this problem, Are they selling them at all?.

    We live on Chapel Road

    Can see Greenwood from where we are. Houses look like they will be nice and big.

    Be prepared to have to drive everywhere.

    The developers have applied to amend planning permission to switch the last phase from 4 bed detached houses to higher density 3 bed terraced houses. It's not a huge change as it's 4 extra houses but frankly it seems pretty deceitful to me that they're quietly doing this while selling a different plan for the estate to buyers of the current phases.

    The case is here - it's been rejected by Fingal county council but is with An Bord Pleanala for appeal. Does anyone familiar with the planning process reckon this has a chance of succeeding?
