Citywest Village Launch Spring 2017

New Home Help · 23-08-2017 10:45am

@MacRaph, I don't think one has been set up just yet - I have just searched and couldn't find one
Have you purchased one of the homes?

Hello_Buddy · 23-08-2017 12:21pm

Hi All,

I have created a new facebook group "Citywest Village Residents" and whoever bought the house in the first phase in Citywest Village, can join this group and we can use this group for sharing the information and collaboration.

xpletiv · 29-08-2017 11:17am

Anyone heard anything for a date/price on next phase?

Also starting to worry a bit more about security; apparently the CW luas stop is a hotbed for crime, drugs, pickpocketing.... have we any ideas or assurances on security for the area?

Joe_Biscuits · 29-08-2017 11:26am

@XPLETIV Just curious where did you hear about the luas stop area being a hotbed for crime? I have driven up there a good few evenings and nights to see the progress on the houses and it seems really quiet around there - hoping it stays that way.

No idea on the new prices etc - Sherry Fitz is your best bet there.

xpletiv · 29-08-2017 11:29am

Sherry not been any use so far really, not particularly helpful for months now. No update on dates, time, anything...

I hear this from other locals in the area. Theres a lot of feedback I have seen on other forums, other facebook groups, and word of mouth that 'east of the shopping centre' is a no go, and that the luas stop is a central part of easy-in, easy-out for crime.

Joe_Biscuits · 29-08-2017 11:59am

Oh really? Well hopefully with the houses being so close to that stop now that it will act as a deterrent for that kinda stuff - only time will tell I suppose.

Spuddy2014 · 29-08-2017 6:17pm

We moved in at the end of July and love it! We have not experienced any problems. So far It's been very quiet. Security are excellent too. Very reassuring to see them patrolling right through the night

CitywestMan · 29-08-2017 7:04pm

Spuddy2014 - Hello there future neighbor

Since you're the only one who knows what the moving in process is like - were you able to get some flexibility on small stuff like fridge space, tap in the rear garden etc.

Thanks

Hi CitywestMan,

No, we didn't really have many requests but there was no flexibility

Hi Xpletiv,

I'm a local (from Tallaght) and buying in Citywest (Cuil Duin) and that Luas stop at Cutywest Village is very quiet as its used mainly by workers - Cheeverstown can be dodgy at times but I'm currently using this stop and rarely see any trouble... I wouldn't let that particuilar feedback impact your decision on buying.... TBH I would be more concerned with the noise of the Luas rather than the anti social behaviour...

Hi @Spuddy2014, glad to hear you are getting on well in your new home. Just wondering, how many houses have moved in? Also do you know when the next open day is? Just wondering did Sherry Fitz mention it you guys as your are in there.

Houses are viewing the weekend.

New Home Help · 30-08-2017 12:33pm

@conormc1984, this weekend? There is nothing online?

Signs around the development have changed to say viewing Saturday and Sunday. Email going out this evening to those that have registered.

nimmy89 · 30-08-2017 12:38pm

I had an email from Sherry Fitz recently advising that the new phase was due to be released soon but no date or prices yet.

Where did you hear that the viewings were this weekend?

I will email now to confirm - would be surprised if this was the case though!

conormc1984 · 30-08-2017 12:43pm

Why be surprised, I am telling you it's this weekend. And the signs have changed.

nimmy89 · 30-08-2017 12:58pm

Sorry there must have been an overlap in our posts - only saw that you posted re signs after I posted!

Look forward to receiving their email this evening - can't wait to see the properties!!!

xpletiv · 30-08-2017 1:28pm

What price we expecting

CitywestMan · 30-08-2017 1:32pm

I'll definitely be there Saturday morning! I anyway had to go and discuss my options for attic conversion.

New Home Help · 30-08-2017 2:47pm

Has anyone contacted Sherry Fitz to actually see if the show houses are open this weekend

I have. Awaiting response

New Home Help · 30-08-2017 3:57pm

Yes, I think it's a misunderstanding - I don't think Phase 2 will be released for a couple of weeks and that's when the showhouses will be open

Well you will be wrong come this evening.

New Home Help · 30-08-2017 4:56pm

Thanks Conormc1984, you seem to have more info than the girl I spoke to on the phone this afternoon! Looking forward to the weekend now

Same here, hopefully get the house we want now. Townhouses seem to be gone up 10k

Joe_Biscuits · 30-08-2017 5:03pm

Who were you speaking to New Home Help? I have been dealing with Jackie in Sherry and I couldn't praise her high enough, maybe ask for her when you call.

Joe_Biscuits · 30-08-2017 5:06pm

Hi Cormac, what are the townhouses? Is there pricing for the new phase? I got lucky and got a cancellation in the 1st phase but I would love to see if there was any price change (I think I paid phase 2 prices).

conormc1984 · 30-08-2017 5:10pm

Townhouses are the terraced houses. They were 295k in phase 1 and now appear to be 305k.

How much did you pay

Joe_Biscuits · 30-08-2017 5:12pm

I took a cancellation just a few weeks ago and it was the only house available - its a semi detached one and all I will say is it was more than €305k........its one of the Pine house so its slightly bigger but thats about it really.

Premier! · 30-08-2017 5:27pm

Semi d's now 317,500 is that what they were in phase 1? Looks like just releasing Oak and Redwood type houses

New Home Help · 30-08-2017 5:30pm

Looks like the 3 bed semi hasn't went up in price?
Does anyone know which houses are being released on the map?

nimmy89 · 30-08-2017 6:16pm

The phase being released is for houses on The Close and Citywest village green. Think I got the name of the second one right?!

Anyone know where they are located? Wonder when the phase after this will go up

Joe townhouses aren't semi detached.
Semi detached are from 317,500 from phase one and the same for phase 2.

305k is terraced

cityhome85 · 31-08-2017 5:42pm

New Home Help · 01-09-2017 12:39pm

Is anyone going today? I couldn't make it could you please put info up here or on Facebook that you find out. Which houses are released / prices etc. Thanks in advance

Spencer33 · 01-09-2017 7:13pm

Well, did anybody enjoy the viewings earlier?
I passed by on my way home from work and there were quite a few people there. -)

CitywestMan · 01-09-2017 10:45pm

34 houses were released today - 3 Bed Semis & terraced.

A few bookings happened today and its supposed to be a full house tomorrow.

conormc1984 · 01-09-2017 11:09pm

Booked a 3 bed semi redwood. Was there since 9 and was 3rd in the Q. Only 4 were there till the time they started taking bookings, I was surprised. Delighted we got what we wanted.

Some of the semi redwoods went up a stupid amount , 347,500k

xpletiv · 01-09-2017 11:24pm

Big variance in prices across houses. They definitely put the prices up on everything, which is a shame and not what they had been harping on about for the last few months. There was a certain element of sticker shock when we saw prices.

Redwoods on the Close (not at the luas line) are €347,500 which is extortion i thought, way too much. The ones on Citywest Green West are 317500 and will have a view of the Green and the mountains behind, but dont have parking on property (they are across the road, no driveways). A couple of them are a bit less, 310k, 315k.
The Oaks on the Close at the luas line are the only 305k houses. I must say though, being in the showhouse today, they are lovely houses, great layout, and do feel big enough!
Willows are dearer again, about 330k but very few of them. There is one on the Close in particular which was 350k!
There are also 2 Hollys, which there is no showhouse for so you're just going off plans, which are 335k.

Id say a good few of them went today. There was a fair amount looking around.

Did anyone get if the oven/microwave was included? I got conflicting answers on that; two said yes, one was a very adamant no.

liam7831 · 01-09-2017 11:28pm

I wouldn't worry about it if your dropping over 300k on the house

conormc1984 · 01-09-2017 11:34pm

We were told just the extractor fan.

Did you book one
