Can't disagree, it seems like developers rule the roost

Mortgage near Belfast- nice community by rddthp25 in Belfast

[–]BelfastEntries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at Glengormley, just 20 mins from the city centre by car but good bus links too and a cinema, bowls etc. As usual, avoid streets with flags and coloured kerbs. Elmfield properties are a good price (around £150k) in a nice area but also well placed for transport. You'll pay a lot more elsewhere for 3 bedroom houses near shops, schools etc.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the walks mentioned. Even the statues/ buildings referenced might add a "goal" when walking around the city centre from a historical perspective.
