Palmerstown/Lucan - best areas to live?

LonBon

Hi all,

Considering moving from Ashtown to Palmerstown/Lucan area and would like some advice on the best areas to rent please. I drive to work in Citywest and my boyfriend works in the IFSC so it would have to be easily accessible for both of us.

I know there's a LIDL in Palmerstown but what other large supermarkets and amenities are in the area?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Any of the estates in East Lucan would suit both of you. You would be 10 mins from city west and he has a few buses that go into town.

Rochfort
Castle Riada
Earlsfort

to name a few

Thanks for your reply.

We viewed an apartment in Adamstown - Castlegate Way yesterday which was nice. My only concern is that the commute from there to the City Centre would be very long. Does the 25 bus go through Chapelizod? What is that like as an area to live in? I liked the area, drove around and into Lucan Village.

Palmerstown also has a good sized Supervalu and is only moments from Liffey Valley and has direct access to the M50 which runs by it. Oh and it's Aldi that's in Palmerstown. I think the nearest Lidl is Ballyfermot which is a few minutes drive away.

Lucan has a better village with more going on but Palmerstown is about a 15 minute bus journey from the city centre if traffic is ok and better M50 access.

There's far nicer places than Adamstown.

In my opinion, the places to look at in Lucan are:
Beech Park/Grove,
Lucan Heights
Woodville
Hermitage
St. Andrews
Bewley
Esker Park
Willsbrook
Elmbrook
Ballydowd
Esker Meadow
Esker Wood
Larkfield
Ballyowen Avenue/Drive etc

Also, all those places are near to buses

Ah now in fairness, adamstown is nice, but depends what your looking for. If you want to listen to the noise of traffic on the n4 while relaxing in your back garden, go to the estates close to the n4.

If you want peace and quiet go further from the n4, Johnsbridge, Grange Manor, Old Forge, Finnstown. Of course going further means a bit longer on the bus, but also means you have a seat on the way in to town. If schools are important be very careful what parish you pick.

If your looking for an area close to a park, Griffeen Park is ideal, the park by ballyowen has seen trouble over the last few years.
