Rathasker Lane, a new development of 38 homes, lies just off Rathasker Road adjacent to Naas town, which is the most populous town in Co Kildare, according to the most recent data.
Of all Dublin’s commuter towns, Naas is one of the most attractive to buyers thanks to its location and the services it offers, and due to the fact that despite its construction boom, it still retains a village atmosphere.
The town offers a good balance between rural community living and contemporary facilities, with a feasible daily commute to Dublin city of about 40 minutes by car, though the motorway can get busy at peak times.
It’s 11km to the train station at Sallins, which will have you at Heuston Station in 30 minutes, while a 35-minute drive gets you to Dublin Airport.
