    Hello. Does anybody have any experience of living in The Grange apartments on the Stillorgan Road? I am potentially going to sign a 12 month lease to live there so would love info prior to committing. Any pros/cons to living there?

    Also, with only one car park space per apartment, where can you park additional vehicles? Are they strict on the clamping in the carpark, or even on surrounding streets?

    There are no surrounding streets, and being an Apartment, you better hope that they're strict with clamping (otherwise you'll find that your one spot is often full, and you have space for zero cars).

    Commute is 30-60mins, depending on time of day and whether you get Luas/Bus.

    Thanks for your response. No great news though! That is true in relation to the strictness being attractive in some ways. I'm confident that if it all does go ahead, we will find a solution to the problem.

    I live across the road, up until recently we had no clamping in the underground but it had to be brought in due to the shenanigans going on with people trying to park cars they didn't have spots for, including one utter idiot who blocked underground access to a whole apartment block and left his clamped car there for days.

    Is it really worth it?

    as a sidenote, at the Grange I see on the lease that inspections take place throughout the year???

    is this true? Are tenants given advance notice?

    By law you have to be given notice or else it's trespass.

    thanks.

    pretty sure notice will be but just wondering is it in the lease for the sake of it, or is it actually carried out

    any current tenants know?
