Is Dublin 17 a safe area to buy a property?

Hello,

I have been living in Dublin city centre for two years now and we really like the area, however, the house is little small. So, my husband and I have decided to buy a bigger house and we kind of really liked an apartment in clonshaugh woods, Dublin 17 the apartment falls under our budget but I'm not really sure about the area as the building is little off the bus route. As of now, we have applied for the driving license and buying a car will take some time. So we definitely have to depend on the public transport for now. We don't mind little walking if the area is safe.

Please help us with your suggestions, we really need some insight about the area.


Thanks in advance!

Kim
