If you’re looking to buy a house in Dublin, this is well worth a look.
Accessibility to public transport is a considerable factor for people looking to buy a home in Dublin, which is why a new report from Daft.ie makes for very interesting reading.
The property website has pulled together a full house price map of the capital, showing the average asking price of a three-bedroom semi-detached house close to each station on the various rail networks.
The results are very interesting if not hugely surprising, revealing that the most expensive houses are to be found near DART stations on the coastline in the south side of the county.
The report found that homes closest to the Sandymount DART station cost an average of €727,000, followed by Dalkey (€690k) Salthill Monkstown (€658k), Sydney Parade (€652k) and Sandycove & Glasthule (€617k).
The cheapest area on the southside DART line was Bray, where the average price of a home is €384,000.
On the northside DART line, Malahide is the most expensive are with an average house price of €537,000, while at €271,000, homes closest to Clongriffin station are the cheapest.
On the green Luas line, meanwhile, Ranelagh, where the average price is €650,000 was the most expensive area and Windy Arbour (€472,000) the cheapest, while on the red Luas line, Spencer Dock (€573,000) is the most expensive area to buy a home and Cheeverstown (€138,000) the cheapest.
