SOLD OUT
In a departure from the norm, I would like to share my own thoughts and personal experiences of the locality, having moved to Greystones a little over six years ago. Since then, it has become clear to me that Greystones is one of those special towns in Ireland in which to live and raise a family.
Greystones won the Award for Best Place to Live in The International Awards for Liveable Communities (LivCom), having previously won the Gold Medal Award in 2008. I recently asked my daughter how she would describe Greystones and she said, "A warm hearted community". I too would share this view as, within the town, everyone is welcoming and friendly and the pace of life is gentle and relaxed, even though we are only a short train ride or drive from Dublin City Centre.
Yes, I acknowledge that I am biased in my views and thoughts, but for those who choose to live in our new development at Fairfield, you will benefit from all of the amenities that the town of Greystones has to offer. Fairfield is located within a five-minute walk of three national schools and two secondary schools, with a further two schools within a short bike ride.
Locally, you will hear the term "The Golden Mile" but this is not a reference to prestigious housing on the coast, rather it refers to the number of sporting clubs which are located on the south of the town; GAA, Golf, Soccer, Shoreline, Tennis, Rugby, Lawn Bowls etc. All of these clubs are nestled beside the town, offering residents of all ages a great opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of sports on your doorstep, without having to get in the car. Of course there is also the Marina which is a stones throw away and the Sailing clubs for young and old, or if you simply want to cast your rod youwill see the fishermen heading out of the marina too.
For those who enjoy the outdoor life, take a plunge in the sea or enjoy one of the many scenic walks such as The Cliff Walk to Bray, Glen of the Downs and Kindlestown Wood. Locals enjoy ease of access to what is widely acknowledged as one of Ireland’s most beautiful counties, “The Garden of Ireland” and the county does not achieve this label without merit. I am a keen cyclist and I enjoy the fact that Greystones is within a short spin of The Wicklow Mountains, which offer stunning bike rides in the summer months, albeit the weather can be a bit more challenging in the winter!
We have an expression in our house when speaking to other family members who do not live in Greystones and that is “Sunny Greystones”, don’t hold me to it but we seem to enjoy an enormous amount of more sunny days and certainly less wet days as Greystones is tucked away init’s own little micro climate!
There is a special feeling within the Town of Greystones which has a permanent holiday vibe in the town, with families, both young and old, enjoying all the amenities the town offers. There is even a small space for those who might enjoy a quiet glass of wine in the evening sunshine at LaTouche wine shop.
In 2023, The Durkan Group celebrates our 60th anniversary, with the company first founded by our father in 1963. We are a family-run building company, and we take great care in the design, detailing and the delivery of each and every one of our new homes. We always look at the homes from a personal perspective, including details which we would want included if we were living in the homes ourselves.
If you ask me whether I have any regrets about moving to Greystones, I do; but only that we didn't decide to move to Greystones earlier than we did!
Director, Durkan Group.
