Is Kinnegad a growing town?

booksale

Hi, I am researching about Kinnegad. Do you know anything about this town? 
I read on web that it's a growing town with young families. 
We are thinking to start up a small preschool there. Morning and afternoon sessions. Maximum 11 kids each session. Is Kinnegad a good location in a good catchment of towns around with parents willing to drop kids in?
Or it's already full of preschools and creches? Obviously we will check with the council but we are overseas now and can only do some online research. 
Also my daughter will start senior infant there. Is that a town good for a girl to grow? I read that there will be a new library and playground? 
Million thanks for anyone who helps.

Nearest affordable location to Dublin north south east or west and 2 soon to be 3 decent supermarkets along with many decent bus services to the city.

Nice and quiet to raise kids.

Wouldnt live there myself as the town seems to have too transient a crowd but im really guessing as an outsider.

Hi thanks veryangryman.

Do you live nearby Kinnegad?

Is it that there are too many new comers to the town that made it too transient?

It’s affordable for families with ok distance from Dublin, that’s why we are considering. And of course if there are plenty of young families, it would be a good location for a preschool.

I am a web designer living nearby in Rochfortbridge and Kinnegad is quite similar with a mixture of families from the area plus families that have moved from Dublin to take advantage of cheaper housing and being close to 2 motorways.

Rochfortbridge has 1 creche and about 50% of the population is from Dublin.

I would say that it would be ideal as most people would commute to Dublin for work and they would be looking for childcare. But I would suggest getting some statistics from the last census to get an indication of the demographics of Kinnegad.

Thanks Gary. Now there is a change of plan but Kinnegad is still in our consideration. We checked the statistic already. The population in Kinnegad itself is not huge as after all it’s just a small town. But as you said, it’s in the middle of Dublin and Mullingar.

Keep researching. Would appreciate if anyone heard of any cries for more preschool in affordable place (property wise), in commuting distance to big cities as our husbands would probably need to commute to work.

If you were looking out this way I would suggest Mullingar. It's only another 15 minutes or so down the motorway and I know that the population was just over 20,000 in the 2011 census.

Mullingar is a commuter town too and you really need to be where the numbers are. <b>Navan</b> would be similar to Mullingar, but would have more people from Dublin there which might suit you better!

Best of luck with your house/creche hunting and if you think of it let me know where you decide.
