I have lived in my family home in knocklyon for the past 16 yrs and am just about to buy my own house and unfortunately not able to stay in the area because of busget. I live in the lower end of the knocklyon road near teh Firhouse road and I love it. Being at this end of Knocklyon I have access to teh 15, 15B,75,49 and 65 bus routes all within a 10 min walk (15,49 and 75 within a 3 min walk). I don't use the bus for work but I hear that teh routes are a lot quicker than they were 4-5 yrs ago.
Withina 5/10 min drive there is a Superquinn and Tesco shopping centre both with other little shops in the centre. Templeogue village is near and has a couple of nice restauuranta and a pub, there is also bushy and Marley park not too far a way. The schools are good in the area and there are lots of activities in teh Knocklyon community centre for adults and children.
There is a halting site on teh Firhouse road near my house and we lived there before it was biult and must admit we objected to its location, however, I can safely say we have had no problems since this site was built and have not heard of anyone complain about it in our estate.
I would definately recommend the are and am only sorry that I can not afford to purchase there myself.
