    Im thinking of renting a place around here but Im just wondering what the area is like? Ive always lived on the northside so am fairly familiar with it transport and ammenities-wise, but would love some opinions from people around that area in particular.

    I was really excited about it but then some people made me nervous saying stuff about halting sites/rough area due to its proximity to coolock/darndale..

    :o

    Don't think it's too bad in terms of the people.

    Drive around there at night though. Main issue I saw was serious over development. Very narrow streets and big parking issues.

    Thanks for the replies! I dont drive so the narrow roads arent an issue for me; it was something I noticed though, wouldnt fancy 3point turns around most of the apartments :)

    Good to hear, probably just stereotyping the area that I heard about, nothing concrete so it wont put me off
