Thanks.
Would it not be better to ask local people in Rathnew???delgirl said:.....and ask local people in nearby Wicklow Town what their opinion is......
It's vital, IMHO, to visit the site of potentially 'your largest ever investment' at various times of the night and day to see what's happening in the area.cabinteely_D said:Delgirl, Thanks for the details.. Couple of the Broomhall properties already for second hand sale. (Other phases may also be released soon.). I didn't catch quite well about your mentioning of visit in night times...
I would certainly agree with Delgirl about visiting any potential purchase destination at all times of the day & night to get an impression of the area, but to suggest that it is known for drug problems and anti-social behaviour would be fairly wide of the mark.delgirl said:.......as I said Rathnew wouldn't be my choice of a place to live - it's known for drug problems and anti-social behaviour - this is why I would advise that you visit at night, preferably at the weekend.
Yes, there are undesirable 'pockets' in Wicklow town, but with it being a town, population ca. 12,000, it's easy not to buy/live in or near those areas. In a small village like Rathnew, with a population of only ca. 1,600, any such 'pocket' may have a negative impact on surrounding developments.Kramer said:but to suggest that it is known for drug problems and anti-social behaviour would be fairly wide of the mark.
Like almost every place in Ireland there is a pocket of it that you probably wouldn't want to buy/live in but it would certainly not be any worse than an equivalent estate in Wicklow Town.

Seriosuly though it is a bit of a dive and my Da says no non local would drink in the bars iis a bit dodge in "the Village"
