I’m baffled at this attitude. There are other people who live in that area, and you’re wishing that shit on them just cos you hate follow an instagrammer? Bizarre
Over 200 houses have gone into the area in the past couple of years, my friend bought one. I was in a position to buy a year before she was and bought in Dunshaughlin, by the time she was ready to buy, the houses in The Willows were more expensive than houses in Rolestown, so she bought in Rolestown. I’m now so jealous of her. She has a Dublin address, Swords and Ashbourne are 5 mins up the road from her and Ratoath is 10 mins up the road from her.
It’s genuinely a lovely area, and it’s scaldy of yis to wish the airplane noise and shit on the area to put it down like that considering the amount of people who live there.
As for the house she bought and the price she paid for it, I do find that outrageous. The houses are gorgeous, but I don’t understand how she paid over 700,000 for a house there. I will say that considering the public transport network and a lack of amenities like shops and coffee shops in a walking distance that the houses are absolutely not worth that amount.
You can buy a 3 bed house along the Dart in Portmarnock or Malahide for that amount, can’t understand how someone would choose to pay it for a 5 bed in Rolestown at this stage
