Good area's to live in the main towns in Meath

brinty

Hi all,
Please could I get some advice on the good spots to live in the major towns in county Meath. Originally from Kells but left there over 10 years ago and didn't have much interest in moving back til now. So I don't have much knowledge on the better area's to be living in. Work in Dublin so need something accessible on N2 N3 routes. Trim/athboy and north meath are not preferable options, so please don't suggest these, no slur intend on these locations but want something close to major route ways. In early 30's so something with a similar age profile. Something that's not D25 please, no disrespect to our Jackeen cousins intended. Good broadband connections, social life and sports clubs (play badminton so that'd be an advantage if there was a club nearby) would be great. Access to schools is an advantage (no kids yet but ye have to plan for these things of course)
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated folks.

Only 15 mins shorter and unless you want to only shop in supervalu then a drive to Ashbourne to shop, Aldi, Lidl, Dunnes, Tesco.
You live in Skryne, where do you go out? (if you do)
Nobody i know has bothered going out in Dunshaughlin in years...
The night life in the village dies years ago, everyone goes out in Navan these days, bands on in every pub every night of the week.
And having lived in Dunshaughlin for 25 years i never really experienced this "village" feeling, i think Batterstown is where you should look for that...

No village atmosphere with a major national road going through, even if as far as I know it vwas downgraded to a R road, they aren't fooling anyone. Trim does have va village atmosphere because there is no N road .

I wouldn't agree on that argument at all!!! I am not talking about Dunshaughlin but in general. What the hell does a national road have to do with a place to have a village atmosphere or not?

Looks nice on photos. I wouldnt really know whether it is the right place for that type of house in that particular estate.

For similar houses you would be paying:

>1,200/1,300eur in Dunboyne
>1,000eur in Dunshaughlin

I can't actually make out if you're agreeing with me or what your saying

That "village" feeling is usually found in a place that hasn't had 500 houses build in the last 8-10 years, a place where everyone still knows everyone, a village that hasn't been taken over by jerseys from a different county every time there's a GAA match on....
Doesn't really make a difference what road goes through it.

It's on the right side of the town to commute to Dublin. As pointed above, it will save you time in the morning.

I travel from the other side of the town and some mornings you can forget about trying to get through the town at school time, it's impossible. Normally takes me the guts of 15 mins to travel from my house to the Willows/M3 roundabout at 7am when its "quiet", a journey of about 6 miles

Decent enough spot, it's on the north side of the town though so not fun trying to get through Navan at school time. St Olivers primary school is nearby along with the post office and a few shops

I'd be leaving before 6.30 so no issues
