Hi,
Anyone interested in Parkleigh, Seven Mills, Dublin 22; built by Cairn:
https://www.daft.ie/new-home-for-sale/parkleigh-seven-mills-dublin-22/4709429
Can't find much info online. Any details on Clonburris?
Any idea on Estimated Completion or is it ready to move in
Anyone happened to see the 3D walk-around of the Houses/Matterport
Galway a much nicer place in my view worked in Dublin for two years not a nice place in the city anyway. Obviously the expensive parts would not be as bad.
Galway is nice but too small, very wet and windy.
I'd take South Dublin over Galway any day, but each to their own :)
It's all Clonburris, right? Clondalkin is quite a nice place to live IMO, the village is quite nice. Neilstown and Rowlagh are fairly rough but nothing that can't be handled, depends on if you like your deli roll through a pneumatic pipe. The days of buying a home away from the riff-raff are thankfully long over. I'd say the area will be quite nice to live in once developed, and especially when DART+ comes along.
is the 400 unit part referenced in the planning docs? where did you see that
There are still plenty of places in Dublin away from the riff raff, but none that are affordable to the average working person unfortunatley.
I would be cautious about buying in a new build in an average area anywhere in the country as the govt is buying up so many new builds for social housing.
They have just done the same thing in Castletroy in Limerick this week.
Perfect example of why people should avoid new build estates.
Location is excellent and ticks alot of boxes for alot of people with good public transport links for buses trains cars and cycling...corkagh park is also a big plus its one of the nicest parks within dublin suburbs...liffey valley and city centre all close too...
"dodgy areas" depends on the persons perspective...theres pockets of them all over dublin so are you ever really that far from a dodgy area...
seems like a well designed development that should bring the area and surrounds up....
Never been so I can not comment on South Dublin but Galway is small I dont see that as negative and that only applies to the city Connemara is vast and stunnning.
Connemara is lovely but all rural and weather is generally poor, but it is a good amenity.
South Dublin has beaches, harbours, Dublin Mountains, Forests, Parks etc, plus all of the urban benefits. Theatres, restaurants, shops, cafes etc plus festivals, event centres. Basically everything.
South Dublin certainly has everything Ireland has to offer, but with a price tag unmatched in the country.
Guys, lets get back to Parkleigh Seven Mills, Dublin 22, which this thread is about.
Did anyone go today; how was it?
Busy. Looked at a couple of the 3 beds. Small, nice enough and you can see the area coming together. But very much an estate on top of each other. I'd find it hard to justify spending that kind of money and not have my own driveway
Galway city has cafes, restaurants etc Connemara has the beaches parks etc. 500k for that? Look at all the people must be a lot of high earners I would be classified as one I suppose but would not see any value in those. Any pictures of the interior?
Any information on the duplexes? The ones in the 2nd to last photo.
The ones that are not detached they must be cheaper right how much are they
Only 50 houses in 2, 3 & 4 bedrooms were available for booking in this phase and that too all of them got sold out in 2 or 3 hours.
That is hard to understand all sold out or no? Prices ?
All of the 50 houses which were available for booking got sold out.
I havent seen pics of the interiors, but 500k is a good price in Dublin overall for a house that size.
Plenty of 3 beds at almost twice that price in the top areas.
Fair enough if they are happy to pay it not for me
limited supply I guess and lots of good jobs means people can afford to pay a lot in Dublin.
Tough for the average worker though.
Not enough new places for sale either, as they tend to go for rent only.
I dont like Dublin glad I got out of it but this seems mad for some government rental scheme it doesent even have a bedroom

its a fair price for the area. Its social housing.
Not a brilliant area, but its grand if youre near your job etc.
As a potential homeowner and with almost half a million EUR at stake, I did some due diligence today. I walked through the canal on the other side of the development. Just like a normal Dublin City center walk, I encountered 3 young lads on bicycle smoking weed that engulfed the whole canal with distinct aroma, some graffiti here and there. I have check the trash some bits of normal looking needles for recreational use. Then I have to step aside for 2 lads racing their electric motorbike on the small canal cycle lane. On the other hand in Bawnogue, right on the side of the development there's some quad bike and motorcycle racing and practise going on. Hopefully the development have good soundproof windows for this kind of noise. Overall it has a good potential to be like Portobello, if properly managed and develop 5-10 years down the road.
Sounds like a rough area good luck to anyone who bought there
I’m from Clondalkin. Hard to know how it will go area wise. It will be that big. I can’t see Bawnogue and Neilstown effecting it.
The biggest issue for people buying is schools. Specially the early buyers.
Clondalkin already has issues with schools.
there are going to be 10K houses, so it will extend from the present location to where Kilcarberry estaate is now if I am not wrong.
It isn't just new builds. The various councils are buying up or signing extended lease agreements for houses in 'established' areas also.
The 400 units I was referring to are in Parkside, Balgriffin. There's an article in the Sunday Business Post about it (linked below)
Similar deals are being done in all large scale developments.

And the large scale social housing in the development is only going to make it worse.
