    Can anyone offer any advice on this development? Three bed semi-detached in particular.
    Last phase seems to be flying up. Love the area but would welcome advice from those more familiar with Blackrock.

    Haven’t bought there but have recently bought in Blackrock and am from the area.

    What do you want to know? It’s a nice village with plenty going for it, bars restaurants etc. Close to the M1 for commuters (but busy early), Dundalk itself has frequent bus and train services to Dublin too.

    Can’t speak for the estate specifically but some friends bought there a few months ago and are loving it.

    The general area is fine though, walking distance to the village.

    I think out towards the golf club there's talk of hundreds of houses being built, bear that in mind. Someone else might be able to give more details on that though.

    Blackrock is a lovely spot

    Does anyone have any more info on Cnoc na Mara or this development? I see it is Knightsbridge Consultancy and almost 500 houses/apartments but I can't find out if it is still going ahead.

    I grew up in Blackrock so I know it very well. Its a really nice safe area with good transport links and a mix of decent places to eat/drink. My in laws live in the vicinity of this planned development and the only comment I would make is that the roads are becoming very busy. Adding another 500 houses along with the other developments in/near the village will only make the problem worse. Its not "severe traffic" or "gridlock" but its certainly not a sleepy little village anymore. I am not trying to put you off but just something to consider. There are lots of other places to walk which are quieter. i.e Annagassan, Port beach, Ravensdale, Soilders point, etc
