    Basically it's where all the new houses are built in the area up past the Garda station.

    It got it's name because everyone is small & happy, it's an ideal community where the only limit is your imagination.




    Nothing to do with all the new estates looking like something out of legoland (which could be said for most new estates in Dublin)

    Yeah Lego-Land is an expression you'll hear in most towns that have loads of new housing estates, not just Balbriggan. 'Toy Town' is another one. Or 'cardboard city'. No reflection on those who live there at all.

    When I first moved to Lusk back in 2005, I called Chapel Farm "Lego Land" simply because the houses were all different colours and not one uniform colour.
