We've seen two houses that tick most boxes for us in terms or size, garden etc but are having a hard time decide which area to go for.
I work in Cherrywood so access to the M50 is important , the Palmerstown one is right beside it so thats a big plus, the Walkinstown one while closer to Cherrywood overall is further from the M50 so takes about 5 minutes more to get there.
We have relatives in Glenageary and Dalkey but cannot afford there. Ideally I'd like Rathfarnham or Templeogue but suitable houses (3+ bed semi with a bit of a preferably south facing garden) are around 50-70k outside our price range (250k'ish).
Both areas seem ok, the Palmerstown one is in "Old Palmerstown" (near the Super Valu shopping centre and Liffey valley) and seems very settled and nice driving around but we dont know the area. The Walkinstown one seems a bit more working class.
I dont know Palmerstown area at all and Walkinstown I only know vaguely having rented in Terenure for a few years in the past, but like the proximity to Dundrum and Nutgrove shopping centres.
Anyone have any pointers or recommendations about the two areas in general terms?
