Estates to avoid in Moate

Sue de Nimes

My wife and I are moving to either Athlone or Moate. We have looked at various properties in Moate and some of them look very nice on the surface.

I've heard though that some of the estates are quite dodgy. As I understand it there is a certainly family in the area that causes a lot of trouble and should be avoided.

There was a thread ages ago about the Ard an Locha estate with someone asking to be direct messaged for the lowdown on it. That person isn't on here any longer.

Can anyone from the area advise me on the following estates :

- Sliabh Rua
- Ard Grainne
- Ard an Locha
- Cois na hAbhainn
- Oakhill

Can you also tell me which of them have fibre broadband available.

Thanks

Looking at daft.ie Sliabh Rua has a lot of houses on sale.

Numbers 88,89 and 91 are currently on the market. Number 87 was sale agreed in January. That is 4 houses next to each other being sold at the same time which makes me a bit worried about the area.

Ard na Locha has a fibre cabinet right at the entrance. Quiet enough estate.
