Property purchase on Sli na Manach, Mugret

Lots of social housing underway and a lot more to come. Can see that whole area being less than desirable in the next 5-10 yrs.

Dont know much about Sli na Manach except for it is across the road from Mungret park, plenty of space for kids there.

Hi we bought in Sli na Manach and moved in last year, I would recommend it, it’s lovely, despite what the bitterness from some of the replies here might suggest.

Social housing is going to be a factor any area where development is taking place. The same people that give out about the housing crisis give out about social housing.

Personally I commute to work 4 days a week (Castletroy) and have no issues - some of the replies here would make you think it’s Dublin levels of traffic

Lots of young couples and young families in Sli na Manach, would recommend!

We've recently asked agency for social houses in Mungret Gate and they said only 4 houses are sold for social housing. We didn't see any info about more social housing in mungret gate.

10% of all new developments have to be allocated to part v social housing. This has increased to 20% for all new developments since 2021. Unless there is only 40 houses in Mungret Gate I would double check what the agency told you. Baunacloka heights right beside it was developed by a housing coop for low income families so that’s 71 social housing units right beside Mungret Gate.

Oh sorry. Massive mistake. Changes everything that does.

It's not noise that is the issue , it's now an incinerator with a very poor past record re emissions.

No there isn't any issue with noise pollution from the factory currently. It's the endless construction that is currently causing the noise.

There is also a large group of kids living there that dump litter around the areas close to the new ones at the back. Despite there being a sizeable field, these kids play ball on the roads and near houses.

Also, they seem to drag up other kids from the surrounding areas as well

Be wary of promises made by the builders to you. They lied about many things in the beginning and continue to do so.

With all that said, it is a good area with nice people in it. Probably the best bet out that side of town.

Definitely do not pay the upwards of €455, 000 they are asking for some of those new builds that are listed.

Is there anyone who lives at Sli Na Manach who can comment on if you can hear noise from your neighbours? Currently looking to buy there and someone who knows someone said that the walls between the houses are not well insulated and noise is a problem. I'd rather hear from people who actually live there than a friend of a friend. Also are you happy with the estate ?

Thanks
