Good Value in Dublin

thischarmingman

I've finally got a decent wedge saved and have been told by a mortgage broker that I can get a mortgage up to 270K. I'm working in city west but want to be as close to town as possible. I want to avoid Tallaght (lived there before...didnt like it)

Has anyone seen any developments that would suit? I was thinking of Herberton but wasnt blown away by the apartments.

Personally I would take a different approach, What are your long term goals?
Do you intend to live there 5 years, 10 year, maybe for the rest of your life?
Are you in a relationship or might you be involved in future?
Do you have or intend to have kids? if so is there enough space over 10/15 years to meet the demands of a family?
What amenities do you need to work in your particular profession?
Is there car parking available or is it extra?
What are the management company terms and conditions?
Is security important?

I don't know you and the answers to the above questions are of no interest to me, they are intended to provoke thought as to how you define value in a place. What you need to do is list a series of criteria that best suits your needs and then ask people their opinion based around these.
