The general area has much to recommend. Close to the sea, buses, DART, local shops at Sutton Cross, Howth, Portmarnock & Dollymount beaches.
I don't live in BEV, nor do I know anyone who does but the odd time I been in the estate, it projects a 'good vibe' - well maintained houses.
The coast road can get congested at the weekend, particularly on Sundays, with a steady stream of traffic heading for Howth. Sutton Cross also can be a nuisance for traffic, specifically for traffic in and out of Superquinn.
