Midleton - is Broomfield safe?

blueways1

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking of buying an apartment in the Broomfield estate in Midleton and was wondering if anyone could tell me about the area? Who lives there ? Is it safe to walk through at night e.g. from the train station? Is it a nice place to live?

Also, is Midleton in general a safe place to live?

Thanks!

I answered your other post, but yes, Broomfield is absolutely safe. Mostly families, loads of young kids. People out running/walking/dog walking all the time. It's a great spot to live - 10 mins (ish) to the train station, 20 to town. The train is very handy to dodgy traffic into the city and is cheap as chips with a Taxsaver card (ymmv depending on tax bracket and number of days in the office). Most sub estates handle their own grass cutting. There's no overall OMC, but I think there is one for the apartments and maybe the town houses, there's certainly a plaque on the wall.

Midleton in general is very safe and very nice.

Lower East Side of Midleton is well dodgy.
