    Hi,
    Myself and my husband are thinking of moving to Ballyoulster in Celbridge.
    Anyone have any feedback on what the area is like?
    Nearby schools?
    Traffic in the morning/evening? Etc.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    If your working in town your the right side of the bridge for driving
    Schools on that side of the bridge are St Patricks NS and Primrose Gate NS both on Hazelhatch Rd
    There is a new Community school due to open next sept in temporary accommodation which should be over that side of town but don't think it's been announced yet
    Other secondary schools are St Wolstans for girls or Salesian college for boys

    I live on other side of Celbridge but have never heard any negative comments about Ballyoulster
    It's also handy for Hazelhatch station if you were thinking of commuting into city

    How long ago was that you were warned off it?
    Think this one had only been on the market about a month.
    Thanks for the details.

    Worth noting that as they're nearly all independent builds on private sites any issue with one property would have no bearing on a different one in Ballyoulster (unless of course it's the same property!)
