Maynooth - Review of Estates

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, looking for more opinions on kingsbry. Brilliant location but is it rough or full of students?

L1011

It has a lot of students but it's reducing year on year. The 80s houses are very badly built. But they are large and pyrite-free.

The fitted windows were crap so there are a lot of very cheap 90s replacements, of awful quality and sometimes installed from the outside so people can break in with a butter knife (seriously). Budget to replace all the windows and doors

We bought in Kingsbry three years ago. We haven’t had any issues with students at all. We live near a walkway so would sometimes hear them heading out around 11/12 or coming home later but only if I happened to be awake anyway. The main issue is the selfish parking by some people in the estate where they park directly across from another car barely leaving room to pass or in some situations not leaving space at all.

I’d agree that the houses need a bit of work - windows and doors along with heating upgrades and insulation.

Overall we’re very happy here - like the location of the estate, we have nice neighbours, a decent garden, comfortable house

Kingsbry is totally fine, superb location. I'd have no issues if the right house for me was there.
