New Developments in Malahide

    Not true. This new estate is in the Malahide catchment area for primary and secondary schools.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Smouse156


    It is True! Kinsealy lane is outside catchment area of St Sylvesters & Oliver Plunkett. We’ve rang the schools.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 352 ✭✭Snugbugrug28


    This was exactly my thinking and then I bought in Portmarnock. The village isn't that great but I fully expect that I can get to Gibneys to meet my Seabury friends quicker than they can as the dart is only 4 mins

    This is on Malahide Community Schools website as of June 2021.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Smouse156


    I mentioned the primary schools, St Sylvesters & Oliver Plunkett. I accept your point on the secondary school, the community college.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 AnnaED


    Best of luck getting a place in Malahide Community School if the child hasn’t attended the local (feeder) primary schools. Well oversubscribed!



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 Wizkid 2000


    Oh sorry, I just presumed Oliver Plunkett's would have the same catchment area as Scoil Iosa as they're so closely aligned to each other. Terrible that people are struggling to get kids into schools. Rumours are that they're building a new school beside Brookfield on the back road beside the castle.

    Hi all,

    Interesting reading through this thread having become interested in the Brookfield/Ashwood development. By way of update, I was in touch with a couple of agents re: Brookfield. A 4 bed semi-d, c. 1400 sq ft which is due for completion next summer, being offered for EUR770k...........being sold from plan and this one came up. They were asking EUR699k around 12 months ago. A 4 bed detached at c. 1900 sq ft offered at EUR995k......option to get attic converted for a price of EUR1.005m.

    I went down for a peek today out of interest. I must confess I do like the houses - appear to be well finished but there is a sense that the further into the current development you get (that is to say, the sites that are under construction), the more of an slightly overdeveloped feel it has. I'm not sure what else is planned but if feels like a bit of an overcrowd.......mind you, for density purposes, I know that planning regs sort of force this scenario.

    Anyway, I digress.......prices above - very toppy I'd say. All units appear to have been bought up so far but it's hard to know that if you're spending anywhere between late 700's and the guts of EUR1m, that they'll hold that kind of value?

    The market has been crazy over the last 12 months +.............the overinflation of prices in Malahide in particular over the last 6-8 months in some instances has been scandalous however if people will pay..........I just feel a correction of some sort has to happen (not a crash by any means or even close to it but some form of correction).

    It was mentioned earlier in the posts re: banks standing over valuations......I know first hand that banks are starting to looking more closely at this aspect along with the fact that agents are also less willing of late to actually put their name to some of these OTT valuations.

    Interesting times ahead.......

    Does Ashwood hall still have houses for sale?

    Any word if they are selling well or not?

    Hi All,

    Just bumping this thread again! I am thinking of buying in Oak Park, Malahide. Is there anyone who bought in the last phase? What is your thought on the area? How are the homes?

    I could see that the train station is about 30 mins walk. How do you find the commute to city centre?



  • Registered Users Posts: 784 ✭✭✭zootroid


    Are those houses occupied yet? Didn't think they were



  • Registered Users Posts: 13 SchruteFarms


    Good point! I though they were.


    In that case, has anyone bought in Oak Park? Maybe share your thought process of choosing Oak Park. The property is a bit far away from Public transport. Closest bus stop is approx 1km and the train station is about 2km (unless there is short cut from Malahide castle park)



  • Registered Users Posts: 38 sharkufc


    I was looking into the Brookfield estate and I wonder if someone has any feedback on the area?

    Also I've noticed the dart is a bit far and there are no buses on the back road. are you aware of any expansion plan?

    What about social housing? I haven't found anything on this matter in the area



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 352 ✭✭Snugbugrug28


    I'd say it's about 25 mins walk to the Dart depending where you are in the estate. For me that doesn't qualify as 'close to the dart' but if you were into fold up bikes it'd be no bother



  • Registered Users Posts: 38 sharkufc


    thanks! do you know anything about the other questions?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 352 ✭✭Snugbugrug28


    Fraid not. I freaked at the distance from the Dart and bought in Portmarnock 5 mins from the train instead. Isn't there some 'Part V' rule where something like 10% of new developments have to be social?



  • Registered Users Posts: 38 sharkufc


    yeah that's what I know but haven't seen a social house around there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 519 ✭✭✭feelings


    Next area for development down that area Brookfield/Ashwood/Kinsealy lane etc just recently lodged for planning permission. https://www.broomfieldshd.ie/

    I was looking at Brookfield, location is great but with the new runway in the airport opening in October it looks like the estate will be right under the flight path. I’m worried it’ll be too noisy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,702 ✭✭✭quokula


    Any chance you could you clarify this a bit? The developments around Kinsealy lane are in the catchment area for the Malahide Portmarnock Educate Together primary school, and the admissions policy for the community school prioritises pupils in the catchment area previously posted, who attended one of a number of feeder schools which includes MPES - there doesn't seem to be any extra weighting given to the other primary schools within Malahide.

    I'm looking into houses in this area but am not too familiar with the specific schools so I might not be fully understanding.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 352 ✭✭Snugbugrug28


    That runway will be mostly takeoffs to the west. I wouldn't expect to see an awful lot of activity going east and certainly not for a few years



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 AnnaED


    I am not familiar with the MPETSS admissions policy (presumably it’s on their website) but MPET National School is not a feeder school for Malahide Community School.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,586 ✭✭✭tscul32


    Yes it is. Have a look at the admissions policy on their website.

    The only issue would be that siblings in "catchment AND feeder" get priority so that would be a considerable chunk of the spaces gone. The rest are shared amongst the first in the family "catchment and feeder". So probably a lottery system. Hence no guarantee of a place as they are heavily oversubscribed every year.

    The MPETSS has siblings first, then catchment - no feeder schools.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,702 ✭✭✭quokula


    Has anyone bought in Brookfield or living in that area, and if so how are you finding it?

    Strongly considering one of the houses in the latest phase at the moment.

    Any insights into what developments are on the horizon for 2023?



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 derry1993


    I see those 3 Beds at Seamount Rise are up at 998k, big big money for what it is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭reactadabtc


    Nice area, but those prices are eye watering. I certainly didn't expect them to cost 1M.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 derry1993


    Certainly a nice area. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, €1m for a 3 bed bungalow with that interest rate move on top. I've noticed a few sitting in Malahide for a while now with prices that are likely over the odds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭herbalplants


    Good few houses seem to be for sale in Malahide at the moment, more houses than buyers I would guess.

    Remember the shills only get paid when you react to them.

    Any thoughts, prices for seamount rise apartments, prices from 430k for 1 beds and 570k for 2 beds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,064 ✭✭✭antimatterx


    Scandalous tbh. I love Malahide, but I wouldn't pay that if I had it in cash.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭herbalplants


    Malahide seems awash with properties for sale

    Remember the shills only get paid when you react to them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭rowantree18


    The problem with Malahide and places like it is that the better, more established areas are as expensive as new builds but require potentially from 150k to sky's the limit to get them up to scratch. While the newbuilds have social housing and a lot of people are turned off by that. Plus housing agencies like Cluaid can buy additional houses.

    A 4 bed semi in for example Biscayne will be at least 800k and will need 200k pumped in even if it was "renovated" in the 90s or early 2000s. They're absolutely freezing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭rowantree18


    "How is there no regulation which prevents developers from robbing home buyers? 780k for a 4 bedroom semi is extortionate."

    Just reading some of the older comments - 780k for a brand new A rated home in Malahide would be a bargain now, 3 years on. (The comment above was about Seamount).

    I sold a 4 bed semi on the coast road which was in need of absolutely total renovation from rewiring and replumbing to basically being gutted. Got 700k. It'd sell now for 900k. Basic 1971 box. I bought a new A rated in another lovely coastal village on the other side of the river for 650k. It'd go for 800k plus now. I guess Malahide trumps for airport etc. But it's all just mad. Swap one lego block for another.

    The real victims are those starting out.

    Hi, wondering if anyone knows if this development will go ahead broomfield shd ( broomfieldshd.ie ). In behind ashwood hall/ Brookfield. I can’t post the link.

    i see a decision on the plans submitted is still pending but the due date has passed over a year now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 HoppingTom


    Any thoughts on the new development at Streamstown, Wellfield. 950k for a 4 bed semi. What's the transport into Malahide like from there, bus etc, seems to go around yellow walls not just direct into the village? It's in the primary school catchment it appears? There is further plans for development around the area. Seems the same distance as Robswall in to the village. https://www.wellfieldmalahide.ie/



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,064 ✭✭✭antimatterx




  • Registered Users Posts: 12 HoppingTom


    Also what's the deal with flight paths in Streamstown? Seems like there is more impact than other parts, Robswall or Ard Na Mara etc?
