    Has anyone any experience of Martello village, specifically the Duplexes? what are they like to live in, noise etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,502 ✭✭✭q85dw7osi4lebg


    Not bad properties and the area is good. Good for commuters too. Bit busy at weekends with a lot of kids on the greens etc but that's to be expected. I know the apartments below the duplex are fine sound wise. Can't comment on duplex itself but assume they are similar.

    They are still cheaper than when they were new!

    Lovely estate. In the top 5 on the southside IMO. Quiet, good location, nice houses.

    The thing I don't like about that area are the houses on the road outside the estate after the bridge. Shabby looking and likely mostly rentals by the look of them and should never have been built either with fronts facing the road or so close to it.




    I lived in one of those for a few years. They're a brilliant design, in my opinion. I lived on the ones on the right (as you go over the bridge, away from the town).


    They have no walls, gates, or anywhere for anyone to hang out, so you never really get any grief or anti social issues. I'd definitely move back to them. Also completely unrelated but there are at least 3 of the most attractive women in the town living on that row of houses. :D:o




    Anti social behaviour is my biggest gripe in house estates, but it seems to have a small bit of traction in almost every estate. Not that that makes it okay - it's long overdue that the Garda, Judicial and Legislative minds got together and properly but the boot into anti social behaviour with actual punishments. It really is Ireland's biggest problem and feeds into so much criminal behaviour down the line.


    Thankfully most people on here seem to be reporting that their estates are generally fine, so that's a good thing. :)

    Any experience in Mornington Tower?

    How is that estate. The location suits, I'm wondering about the area.

    Thanks in advance

    Very good point actually.

    They look to be starting the next batch of houses down that way now.

    How about liscorrie? Is it a good area to live in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 434 ✭✭Mr Jinx


    Has anyone any experiences of living in the 3 bed semi's in five oaks? Good or bad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 279 ✭✭Mr. Muddle


    No experience of the semi's but I have family and friends that live in different detached houses in Five Oaks, it's a lovely estate they are very happy with their houses and the area.

    Seeing as I started this post a long time ago maybe an update is in order.

    I bought in Knockbrack Downs. I grew up in a village in Cavan and lived in Rathmines for 10 years in Dublin 6 so I've a good varied idea of social classes and people I like to think.

    Knockbrack Downs itself is nice and mainly quiet, yes it has teenagers hanging around but so does everywhere and if you leave them alone they keep to themselves. Couldn't fault the place.

    Great info for perspective buyers. I'm just gone sale agreed on a terraced house in the area.

    I just want to know how soundproofing are the walls. I've read somewhere else that they are very bad.
    Thanks

    Hey mate, can be a little noisey but will depend on your neighbours. Most general sounds don't carry but if people are arguing, tvs are over the top loud or slamming doors then you'll hear things.

    I've lived in plenty of places that are similar.

    Best of luck with the sale agreed house, hope it works out for you.

    Great, thanks I appreciate it. 🙂
