Mere Park Altidore Gardens Discussion Thread

SC2023

Hello everyone, new to boards so I hope I've posted this in the right place. We reserved a house in Merepark, Altidore Gardens in Newtown Mount Kennedy this weekend.

Just looking to see if anyone else has. The day was completely manic and I would be curious if there were any houses left not reserved after Saturday!

Hi There - Yes we also reserved a property on Saturday, we went for 3 bed semi D. We found the day to be mad but also came away and couldn't believe it was so straight forward too. Process seems to be running along now, I wonder if it is possible to view the house again prior to signing contracts - just to have look when perhaps less people are there.

We have also been looking at MerePark, but haven't booked yet. My workplace is in city center, and it has been the only hesitation towards booking since the only public commute option is by bus, which can be very unpredictable.

Hi, we have also booked a property in merepark altidore, but are confused about the location. Are there any social housing nearby, how much safe is it. We have been looking around the merepark and there is old state located just behind the site which seemed bit shady. Also, our office is in city center and yes there is only bus as mode of transport. Very confused.

Hey I have been living in newtown nearly a decade now, its a very safe town the estate you discussing behind merepark is Season Park a well established estate in the town and not at all shady.

Regarding getting into town as you say the best bet is 133 I use it frequently and very happy with it but if you have a car there is also the option of the free park and ride in greystones to get the train.

Thank you so much @recyclops for your valuable feedback. 🙌 mean a lot.

Yes, can also confirm, nothing shady about Season Park. There will probably be high likelihood that some of the apartments in Merepark will be bought up for social housing.

Hi there, also reserved a property in Merepark. Was curious if anyone knew exact date in June which the next phase will be moving in? (want to see if I can see how the construction of my unit is getting on)

I have reserved a new home in Merepark Altidore gardens there as well, wondering if anyone have gotten a mid terrace 3 bed or end terrace ? Layout seems a bit odd making it hard for measurements and also anyone has done snagging there yet ?
