    Apologies for dragging up an old thread but this one was extremely popular over last few years. What do people think of the price of the house in the link? Is it completely ridiculously over the top or would these houses fetch this kind of money nowadays? I'm very interested in moving to Maynooth and this estate in particular, but 700k for a 4 bed estate house in maynooth? Albeit a very nice one, a friend lives in exact same house type and they are really lovely. I would be interested in the 450-500k range definitely.

    I've been "wrong" all the way up on this thread. Didn't like the detached at 380k as the developer(or family) had issues with pyrite in Enfield. Were protesters and all. 440k was stiff. 500k final phase, sealed bids were just insane.

    Like, the gaffs are nice and all but always felt they were compact against houses at the relative price range over the years.

    Parsons Hall is likely the prime opposition to estate living at that level. One advertised at 695k for a while. Probably the worst house in the estate in terms of location thought.

    Two traded at 570k and 630k for 4&5 beds in last 9 months. Both needed 80/100k of work to bring up to Castlepark interior and A rated standard.

    When paying at that level, I guess the question comes to do you want to live in a tight estate in good walking location against a nice, big detached within easy driving range.

    Well I'm planning on selling something in Dublin in an area where I think I could get about 600k for my own. I am from Maynooth and want to move back. Ideally I would buy for cheaper than I sell and have a reduced mortgage but at 695k I don't think I can make this work. I'll probably look elsewhere

    Many thanks to Declan from Mason Homes for bringing the JCB round to clear the snow from the estate roads :)
