    Hey, am looking at buying a house in Ballyer, just wondering what it's like there now?

    The sister lives up at the Kylemore end but has said that apparently that lower Ballyer is now fairly rough (I think it was always considered the fairly quiet end).

    Can anyone confirm or deny this? I always seem to remember that the lower end of Landen and around Lally Road were grand, only seemed to find trouble the further up ya went, and even then is was grand in fairness.

    That seems quite a generalization? Is your view based on recent or past anecdotal experience?

    Know somebody that lives at the bottom of it (as in near the GAA club) and it seems fine. Handy for town as well.

    You'll be grand anywhere outside of Cherry Orchard.

    Grand. We'll be fine without you :D

    I've lived at the lower end, near the pitch and putt course for over 10 years. Very happy living there except there's not a huge amount of retail/eateries in immediate walking distance. But very close to town.

    In fairness, the main retail strip from Tesco to the Gala is as ugly as sin.
