Boroimhe is a bit of a mixed bag , a good deal of rented accommodation and entry level folks. Boroimhe would be held in slightly higher esteem than Gorse Hill , Applewood and Riverview/vally although properties in all three estates have not seen as much growth compared to the rest of the Northside , Co Dublin.
Don't be smoked screened into thinking that traffic takes a little over an hour into town. Take the trip yourself , from Swords village (Pinnock Hill) to Whitehall and Santry is an absolute crawl and the turnoffs for the M50 are practically carparks in the morning. Try it yourself although going home in the evenings is not as bad.But there is no Dart / Train Station , Hospital , Bus is over subscribed, enough Gardai and the town did win tip of year not so long ago. But it is improving slightly.
Swords is an unusual village that has changed dramatically over the years , very busy and lots of retail units , rented accommodation and more than a few non nationals which ad to the eclectic mix.
I bought into Boroimhe early and sold about 6 months ago , reinvested in Santry. I am very glad to have made a few quid but I think the value is now well gone and properties in the four estates wont see much growth in the next few years.Plus i dont like the way the estate is going i feel another few years and the little youngsters will become big messers.
Lots of decent second hand properties in Santry, Donnycarney and Artane at the moment. Much better value and amenities by far.
