Apartment Rent Cost Dublin City

I'm moving to Dublin. I will be working city centre. Saw a 1 bed in Parkgate Place, Conygham Road for 875 a month. Really like it. Is this the going rate for a half decent place with parking in Dublin City Centre? I've seen some apartments for 750-800 but they were poor quality. Am I made to be considering to pay this much?

That is high, though a secure parking space does go for a good bit. What square footage? what amentities as part of the apartment block?

Its a good location. Heuston station, Luas and multiple bus routes practically on your doorstep. Phoenix Park, pubs, shops and the Criminal Courts (good and bad

) across the road.

Location is excellent and the complex itself is secure and well run. I think its maybe worth the €100 or so more. I have looked at some places, admittedly cheaper at 750-800 a month, but in terms of location and quality would not be at the same level. I suppose you get what you pay for!

You could always put a slightly lower offer in, say €825. They might say no and you could go up to €850 or €875 if you think it's worth it. Always worth trying!

I wonder how the ground floor units and the car park fared in the flooding.

I was there a couple of days after the floods and there was no flooding which is obviously a big plus!

Why rent when you could buy an apartment for 100 k cost about 450 a month with mortgage interest relief

The banks aren't lending to a whole lot of people. Certainly not for 1-beds.

Daft.ie has 9 2-bed properties in Dublin 7 and 18 in Dublin 8 for under €125,000 (4 and 8 respectively under €100,000) asking price. Not a great choice.
