Moyglas, Lucan

vinhayes

Hi all,

Just recently got approved for mortgage and have been looking at houses in Moyglas area of Lucan.

I'm looking for some honest opinions on the area i.e. goods for kids, gangs hang around etc. I've been up the area a couple of times but would like opinions from people who live or know the area.

All comments appreciated, good or bad!

Thanks

HI;

Saw a post from you earlier about another estate. Dont know much about Moyglass but they did have an issue with problems on the green there but that could be sorted.

Its worth looking around other areas too, Johnsbridge, Haydens Park and Grange Manor. Grange Manor four beds are big compare to most 4 beds and one is for sale now i think, or maybe its a 3 bed.

Most areas in Lucan are good but you should visit all of them, its what we did.

Thanks AV

Our budget is only 220k so dont think we can afford anywhere near the village. i know we are cutting it a bit tight looking for a place in lucan but we might get lucky.

There is a few in liffey valley park but still unsure about that area from reading various websites. I did drive around the area loads of times, feel like i know it like the back of my hand. the only thing puttin us off is the traveller site and the estate next to it cuille something, can't remember.

any other comments welcome

Thanks

The areas i mentioned are in the village.


But TullyHall and Oldfield are other estates on griffeen avenue too.

I know there is a nice two bed for sale in tullyhall. The 2 beds are lovely and big, as used to own one before we moved.

OP, Moyglas is a lovely estate. I am born and bred in Lucan and I would definitely consider buying there. The houses are nice and the estate seems quite settled.

Johnsbridge, Haydens Park and Grange Manor? They are as far from the village as Moyglas or Tullyhall.

My brother has lived in Moyglas since the houses were built. They really like it. They live across from green, Maybe the one mentioned by a pp. There are always kids playing, (my nieces and nephews are some of them) If you have kids this is nice to see if you don't you might find it annoying,.
It seems to me to be a lovely estate, handy for public transport, M50, shops, schools, etc.

Yeah its a lovely house, nice quiet area, gardens at the back are a good size.


I have nothing to do with the house in case people are wondering, just i used to own one a few years ago before i moved.

Hi, I live in Liffey Valley Park and we have had no problems coming from the developments you mentioned. It is a nice quiet estate and Anti-Social Behaviour is not an issue. It has a great location as its very handy for the N4/M50, Liffey Valley etc.
