Best Location in Dublin for Good Value Property

Wudyaquit

Hi All,
I know there's plenty of advice on here regarding holding off buying property, but beyond that what areas of Dublin do people feel are currently well valued?

By which I mean, which areas do people feel are unlikely to fall much further or likely to experience a jump in the medium term.

The Castleforbes square apartments near the Point have done reasonably well at the Allsops auctions, but with the IFSC as likely to contract as expand imo, I can't see where the optimism's coming from for the area.

Where do boardsies think are strong areas for investment property?

That last line should bring some interesting responses from the folks in this forum

Hi -
Not the aforementioned development near the point, - I have inspected quite a number of units there -a range of issues from build quality to management company problems seem prevelant.

Traditional area's Marino, Clontarf on the Northside & Blackrock on the southside seem to be moving again judging by number of surveys carried out in last 6 months.
Beyond that - anything on Luas line - Adamstown in particular ticks a number of boxes for access via car, public transport - and easy for the west of Ireland and South etc. -
City centre demand will be high as will any area with high IT focus in commercial sector ( Sandyford, Blanchardstown).

Adamstown looks a soulless hellhole from the train (with a bloody big pylon slap-bag in the middle of school/apartments).

Best locations? Not to be smart but I think the market is very good at finding it's own level in this regard - even in these recessionary times.

Was prepared for the wrath, but looks like I might have gotten away with it.

Pburns might get the wrath instead ! - with the 'soulless hellhole' comment. But if its an investment property - schools, transport, easy access to employment centre's are factors that will make a property consistently easy to rent and in future easy to sell as market cycles up again.

If I may offer my head in the noose - I think most of these developments in suburbia look like strip malls - lifeless and without feeling. Thrown up in the boom with very little thought to planning for peoples needs.

There are quite a number of developments in D1 & D2 if it is in fact an apartment your looking for.

South Conty Dublin is a safe bet, Prices are way down and the places are very desirable. look around killiney, blackrock, churchtown. avoid Dundrum, over valued because of the shopping centre.

I really do think that these are the best prices, they all very established areas.
