Lyle Lanley wrote: » Kevinsfort, Oakfield, Springhill Court, Cedar Drive, Rathedmond. There are a few more, but I like that side of town and it's easy to get anywhere from there.

Investors have bought up a large portion of housing in the estates for airbnb and short term lettings. Knock on effect is lack of local infrastructure, schools etc since people aren't there for any significant amount of time plus the estates suffer since you technically don't have a neighbour. There's affordable housing in the east ward in town within walking distance of the town center, but there's also plenty of people here who'd tell you to avoid those areas. Your call really.....

Strandhill has a long history of short/medium term visitors coming to surf/golf. . No shortgage of primary school places that I'm aware of, Strandhill and Ransboro NS's are pretty good. What other infrastructure do you feel is lacking? All in all, I don't think anything in your post reflects living/life in Strandhill.

Really great vibe in Strandhill, car parked Friday evening, often doesn't move till Monday morning. Short walk to beach, the Strand Bar, Shells for breakfast on Sunday morning, the Venue for wings, golf on Sunday mornings. Takes a few mins extra to get in in the morning, but leave before peak school time and it's only 10-15 mins to IT. That's living in my view, but everyone is different, I like the outdoors.
