Hill view estate in Wicklow Town - should we buy beside it?

15-02-2022 06:21PM #1

Hi, I’m looking to possibly buy one of the new builds in Sessile Oaks in Wicklow which is beside Hillview Estate. I’ve been advised to not buy the house because of anti-social behaviour, fires, scramblers at all hours. Would anyone who has any experience around the area be able to confirm this? I don’t want to make the wrong move. Many thanks

I know where you’re talking about but don’t really know anything about Hillview itself.

Sessile Oaks has been discussed in other threads on here. I believe it was initially to consist of privately owned houses, was then to be social housing with deposits returned to prospective buyers & is now once again on the market to private buyers. I’d say the build started maybe four or five years ago & seems to be ongoing but no one has lived there to date as far as I know.

Both estates are a good walk from the town centre, schools etc & it’s all uphill. Views over the bay should be pretty good though!

You might get some more feedback if you post in the local Wicklow forum.

Dont is all I can say to you.

Take a walk up there some nice evening and walk around for an hour or two and see how you feel.

But I think you know deep down how you feel.
