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?
Yes. The part 5 is just the start of it.
The councils then hoover up as many homes as they can so that they can reduce their social housing list and then are dumb enough to seek kudos and likes from the working electorate - the very people they have snatched the new houses from!
It goes like this...
State doesnt bother building social houses.
State waits for developer to build private houses. Private buyers are pleased, as there is potential for them to finally own a home.
State outbids private buyers using private buyers money via taxation, then expects thanks from private buyer.
Private buyer is pi**ed off. But as they arent on any form of housing list, State does not care.
Repeat cycle.
Private buyer emigrates.
This is true.
You can take it further. Apart from the at least 10% Part V requirement, most developers are of the opinion that 2/3 bedroom apartments are essentially unprofitable in most areas to sell directly to people.
A safe assumption is most apartment blocks currently being built will go to either social housing via the council or housing associations like tuath.
Yeah its madness.
Avoid new builds like the plague and let your TD know it isnt on to keep giving new homes over to those that cant afford them, to the detriment of those that can.
They are, but they can only buy whats available. So you arent going to get the same proliferation of social housing that you see with new builds.
And the large scale social housing in the development is only going to make it worse.
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.

It isn't just new builds. The various councils are buying up or signing extended lease agreements for houses in 'established' areas also.
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.
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.
Sounds like a rough area good luck to anyone who bought there
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.
its a fair price for the area. Its social housing.
Not a brilliant area, but its grand if youre near your job etc.
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

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.
Fair enough if they are happy to pay it not for me
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.
All of the 50 houses which were available for booking got sold out.
That is hard to understand all sold out or no? Prices ?
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.
The ones that are not detached they must be cheaper right how much are they
Any information on the duplexes? The ones in the 2nd to last photo.
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?
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
Guys, lets get back to Parkleigh Seven Mills, Dublin 22, which this thread is about.
Did anyone go today; how was it?
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.
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.
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....
Perfect example of why people should avoid new build estates.
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.
is the 400 unit part referenced in the planning docs? where did you see that
