Re: Newbridge/Dublin
Hi Aura,
I was brough up in Kilcullen and Meath - I moved to Dublin 16 years ago
When I was 26 I went back to aollage -when I finished - I was offered a site in Killcullen - I chose to buy a place in Finglas - rather than move out of the city - a couple of years on we were able to buy a house in a really nice area - it needs work and it's no mansion - but what is sooooooo nice is that I can hop on a 19 or a 19a and I'm in town in minutes....
We don't have kids, but it probably is in the pipeline in a few years....
Would I move back to the country - some days I think about it - but I don't really think so - if we do have children we live near some of the best schools and collages, you will find that alot of schools in the city centre have reasonable numbers and the children have great opertunities - I am an auntie of 5 neices and nephews in Dublin and have a neice in Kilcullen...
Another thing we concidered when we moved, was that we really wanted to live somewhere that would be our "place" - not just a mansion with state of the art everything - but a place that really suited what we wanted in life....And I think we have it .....
I would certainly think long and hard about your decision - but you now not all of Dublin is mad expensive - take Cabra for instance - you can walk into town from Cabra and its very settled, there are mainly houses in the offering as well with manageable gardens.....
Anyway enough of my ramblings!
