Re: Any opinions on Hollystown Dublin 15, beside Hollystown Golf Course?
I am a resident in Hollystown 2.5 years, Our house overlooks the golf course, I must admit its fantastic waking up in the morning, looking out at the view and appreciating the seasons again, We get the odd golf ball in the garden, buts its not an issue. In the summer you can walk the country lanes, and still travel into the city centre in the afternoon -still in Dublin County ...so no hassel with taxi driver surcharges, Hollystown is not for everyone, schools can be a issue, House buying is a trade off, and is really based on personal circumstances. Alas capital appreciation is modest considering the quality of houses, but this is changing, new developments locally (Redwood, Chapelwood) are focused on high value detached houses which is encouraging. Local sites are being sold for huge amounts, A new 4 star Hotel is presently being constructed. I work locally so I'm in work in about 15mins, its very accessible to the M50 and the Airport. There is a local Bus Service (Hollybus) and Dublin Bus Depot/ at Tyrrellstown. Yes… there is a flight path nearby which I was anxious about initially, honestly, after a while you don’t even notice, The biggest asset… a strong community spirit, most residents make a real effort to get to know you. You may say I’m biased, but I met a ex-resident recently whom regrets moving. ….It’s a lifestyle decision, you get a lot of bang for your buck! Hope this is of help.
