Kilternan Wood Houses

Hi how can we search for this forum?

hello, i just booked yesterday for a 3 bedroom in the drive.
Handover date is Feb/March 25.

I heard that cost rental have also been inaugurated nearby. What role does that play in overall growth of the area?

Just up there for a stroll tonight, estate presents well and houses look super, at least from the outside.

Glenamuck Road is a disgrace. It is worse now than it was 60 years ago despite all the development in the area.

Reserved one on the drive also for Feb/March. There is a good bit in the pipeline for the area it seems infrastructurally https://www.dlrcoco.ie/KGLAP2024

Nice and quiet site, houses seem well specced. Anyone planning to do the attics or kitchen upgrades? Do you know who the kitchen supplier is, if they have showroom etc?

Creche in the estate was very accommodating too, gave us a spot for March no problem.

The Traffic in the Kilternan area is appalling and is only going to get much worse.

@AlexEA We went to their showroom and they indeed let you do changes, colours, handles, drawers etc. once it doesn't disturb the builder's workflow/deadlines.

Worth booking a consultation with them :)

I have been in a queue from Jamestown Cottages to the lights at the top of Glenamuck Road. OP is so right, traffic there has really gone to hell.

Guess given ours is phase 2 it was already shipped the kitchen so nothing we could do

they were built for the council. The council commissioned them.

Kilternan wood also had a lot of social housing which Tuath are looking after

There’s not too much social within Kilternan Wood itself, I believe most of the apartment units in there are cost rental with about 20 or so social housing apts.

There’s no wall separating the 2 estates currently but there is no connecting road between the two either, so can only move between the two estates by foot. I suppose it might not be ideal if you’re in any of those units from number 9 to 19 on Kilternan Wood Road you’re looking directly on to Kilternan Close.

Is kilternan close all social or does it include cost rental and affordable housing?

It’s a bit different and I think people living in cost rental units might be a bit offended at someone saying they live in social housing. But the cost rental units are managed and operated by a housing body in the same way the social housing units are.

With regard the social / cost rental mix in Kilternan Close, I’m only speculating but I haven’t seen any mention of a housing body taking over those units. It seems they’ve just been handed over to the council and if the council are operating them then it will likely be 100% social housing.

they Might be offended. But at the end of the day cost rental is social housing.and theirs nothing wrong with that.
