    Hey there, yup live in the area, grew up there, moved out for college and stuff for a good while but moved back with my own family. Its a small village with 3 shops, largest being the local Centra, also a petrol station, two pubs, laundrette, chipper and chinese.

    The primary school is relatively new, large and modern. There are a number of playschools and or creches in the village. Also there are a number of Secondary Schools nearby in Trim/Athboy/ Longwood.

    The local GAA is very active in the community, there is a new community garden behind the Community Hall. In the community hall there are many activities for kids like Scout, Tae Kwon Do. etc. The community hall also houses a small library and hosts a baby and toddler group.

    The ares is relatively safe, some local tikes around but thats about it.

    The commute obviously is longer during the winter depends where you are going in town but you can go via the N3 or the N4. Myself, I drive 20mins to Enfield and get the train directly into town.

    Can be a little quiet at times in the area, but its a small village but its great for kids.
