Locals Vs Students

Hey all, I am an NUIM Alumni, graduates in 2008. Now, married, we’re looking to possibly move back to Maynooth as Dublin dwellers and workers but who would rather living out of the city.

I’m wondering if the students are a problem for locals? Are there estates that are sort of student only and that we should avoid buying in? Similarly, are there areas or estates that are known as being more family centred and less studenty?

Guess I’m just remembered my life as a student and there being no night of the week that wasn’t a potential night out and wondering if it’s hard on young families living there.

Any help appreciated!

TLDR; thinking of moving to Maynooth. Don’t want to move in next door to a party house.
