    Hi there#

    We just visited a house in Straffan Grove. Could you please share some pros and cons? Is it noise for a newborn baby?

    Thanks:)

    Hello.

    I wouldn't read to much into students in Maynooth and the estates they are or are not in. You are just as likely to have students beside you in one of the more expensive estates these days than say the likes of Straffan Wood, Meadowbrook or Kingsbry. In fact I think since covid those older and more budget friendly estates have thrived from younger families moving into them.

    Cluainn Aoibhin is also nice and a second hand 4 bed is about 300k cheaper than a new 4 bed. A bungalow in kingsbry recently sold for 510k so that will show you the potential of the area. Parklands and silken vale also have nice houses a little dearer but they also have a decent size student population now.

    Student levels are dying off in all the old student estates. Can't afford the rents, landlords don't want the hassle and don't want 9/10 month leases either.

    Probably 10 ex student rentals near me sold in the past 5 years; 8 or 9 are now owner occupied and the others are still landlords, but to families.

    Some are workers house sharing rather than students - more likely to afford it, are there over the summer and usually a lot quieter than students.
