    Hi,

    Just a small reply on this....my grandmother was a resident in hillcrest nursing home in long lane...she passed in november and on the day of her funeral, the hearse was attacked by snowballs! Some of the youths doing this were teens, and should know better. Im not from Donegal....but didnt think long lane was a very pleasant area to be in!! Doors locked on drive up the road etc!! Hope this helps!!

    Go up there and see what it's like at the least before you go making assumptions.

    Oh so living close by allows you to know what it's like? Have you ever been up there?

    OP, I think 3 pages on this should let you know to stay away from that general area. There are lots of houses/apartments to rent/buy in other parts of Letterkenny at decent money.

    Ive lived in meadowbank all my life and it isnt as bad as people say. If you give problems you will get them just the same as every other place you could live. And to say long lane is the worst you need to be deluded. Anyone says that obviously arent from letterkenny because if they were they would say oldtown or ballymacool are the worst. It may have times its bad but to be honest where doesnt? All everyone here has done is painted a picture without even knowing anyone in long lane because if you did they would say the same as me that its all lies and not as bad as everyone says

    Lived in Long Lane for a few months last year and never had any bother. The South Bronx it ain't.

    avoid! Never felt safe there and that's coming from someone who's lived in tallaght.
    there are much better areas to live in for the same price.

    Hey,

    I know this is an old thread. Just wondering how is Church Lane and Grand Central Apartments. I have potential offers to rent from them, but wanting an opinion from someone who's been living in Letterkenny for few years. I am not a local :)

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Ajay
