If you can afford somewhere decent where you want to live, I would just go for it.

I also don't get why people are still convinced Tallaght is like Beirut. It's a rather large suburb and has nice spots and not so nice.

What bugs me is the rather arbitrary nature of what seems to constitutes 'SCD'. Seemingly the 'traditional' understanding of 'SCD' only includes the fancier addresses. This 'SCD' that excludes Ballinteer, Ballybrack, Shankill, and anywhere with a sniff of council housing is only the product of some selective snobbery.

Shankill is SCD so is Ballybrack any areas without a postcode is traditionally SCD, so Sandymount isn't, and either is Donnybrook.

and thats just a few from this year, if the only one you could find was the fight outside Annabels 10 years ago, that's exactly the difference between Tallaght and SCD.

So nobody has ever been violently assaulted by people from "nicer" areas?

To be fair that's not exactly the norm hence it made national news.

Tallaght is bigger than Cabinteely. There are whole, perfectly nice areas of Tallaght which are bigger than Cabinteely.

You might as well compare Cabinteely with LA, its a ridiculous comparison.

One is actually a case from 2012.

Melanie McCarthy-McNamara was shot dead as she sat in a car in Tallaght on 8 February, 2012.

As I said, you're not comparing like with like.

Tallaght is far larger than any other suburb. If you look at those cases and where they might have taken place they would all be around certain areas of Tallaght.

I'm not trying to be funny- but you are aware that Beirut is considered to be very exclusive and prestigious, and is rated by the international business community as the most expensive city in the Middle East (having recently dethroned Abu Dhabi). Source Tallaght, on the other hand, while it does have the Square and some interesting businesses and enterprises in the area- is not exactly on parr with Beirut.

Yes- Tallaght has the odd murder (normally drugs or gangland related) and Beirut has the odd attrocity (normally Hezbollah car bombs)- probably on roughly the same frequency as one another, but as areas, affluence, money, pretigiousness etc go- Beirut is up there with the best of cities. Akin to Tallaght- it has its bad areas (e.g. keep the hell away from the South Beirut area of Haret Hreik)- much the same as Tallaght has its infamous areas (thankfully car bombs don't tend to feature).

Yes I do, thats why there are huge differences in the prices of areas within places like Tallaght, Dublin and Ireland. Its not that hard to grasp?

Or a premium on the size of house, nearness to amenities , etc etc....

Why you have over 100k in the disparity of the prices of houses in Tallaght.

It's weird, I've lived in Tallaght my whole life and there hasn't been a single murder on any of the streets I've lived on.

I'd better clarify, when I say SCD I mean the traditional areas, Mount Merrion, Blackrock, Glenageary Sandymount etc

btw - I was born and raised in a part of the county 'traditionally' without a postcode, and it's got one now. I wonder if it's still regarded as 'SCD'?

Good god that really isn't an argument, what about the other streets, don't get me wrong I know Tallaght very well, I have a lot of friends from Tallaght and there are areas that are fine, however given the choice I'd never bring kids up there, that simple if it's a choice between Tallaght and a commute, believe me the commute is the better option.

Now I'm not from Tallaght or Dublin for that matter, so I can look at it all with zero attachment to any particular area, and given the choice I and most other people will choose an area where, my kids aren't exposed to crime or exposed to people who are exposed to crime, and having grown up in what would be considered a relatively dodgy enough area outside Dublin, I know how easy it is to fall in with the wrong crowd.

I have friends in Dublin who didn't grow up in these areas and friends from Dublin and home who did, needless to say we all turned out fine, but I'd say the people who grew up in the decent areas have had better opportunities in life, and weren't exposed to some of the stuff I or other friends were purely by virtue of the fact of where they grew up.

Interesting worth looking into, but we all know the areas that are regarded as SCD and the areas South of the liffey that are respectable and not so respectable, I suppose a better definition is anything West regardless of North or South.

This is just nonsense. You cannot live in any middle class urban area in the country in that case. Would you listen to yourself.

Again - not really. I suspect you're mistaking respectability for affluence. I seem to recall a particularly high profile murder related to the most affluent area in the county only this year.

The reason prices are rising in particular areas of Dublin is because percentage wise buyers percieve them as respectable.

Really? The largest rises in asking prices relate to rental properties, apartments in particular, which tend to be closer to the city centre. Equally, of the three Dublin property 'hotspots' supposedly identified in the last six months, two of them are in that wasteland of respectability, de Nortside.

Hard to find particular stats, but an article based on the cso will suffice.

"GARDAI and the Department of Justice have been urged to allocate more resources to tackling crime in Tallaght after it emerged that the area accounted for the highest number of burglaries recorded in the State last year.

New statistics published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) show that gardaí recorded 922 burglaries last year in the Tallaght area, which was the highest rate in the country."

http://www.dublinpeople.com/article.php?id=1554

Burglary as opposed to murder, but no one likes to come home and find their house burgled and yes crime happens everywhere, but the stats say it's more likely in Tallaght.

There's little supply across the entire city. Two of the three 'desirable areas' are on the Northside. That's what the 'hotspots' relate to.

I know Tallaght very well, would you have preffered if I said Cabinteely, sandyford, Killiney, dalkey, Blackrock, Dundrum, Dun laoighre, Shankill and Ballybrack, to try and cover an area as large as Tallaght, maybe I should have.

Dun Laoighre can be dodgy so can Ballybrack and Shankill, and other areas, but they have a long way to go to catch up on Tallaght, and this isn't derailing the thread, this is all as to why house prices in those arteas are expensive and houses in tallaght are not (relatively speaking)

In fact there's only one house in all of Tallaght for sale for more than 300,000, what does that say?

As to the safety of your bolthole; Tallaght had 992 burglaries reported in 2012, for a population of over 71,500, while Gorey, with a population of 9000 had 129 reported. By my reckoning, that places Gorey in pretty much the same territory.

Is that 922 per 100,000 population or what? You can't simply say "area x has the most burglaries" because area x could be massive compared to other areas.

I suspect Tallaght has "the highest rate of burglary in the state" because it only has one police station, despite it being a town of 100k people, bigger than Limerick, Galway, Waterford etc. all of which have multiple police stations to divide their crime statistics up for them whereas all burglaries in Tallaght are recorded in Tallaght Garda Station. Hardly a fair comparison.

Going a bit off topic at this stage I think, the title of the thread is depressing dublin house prices, however there are areas that people can buy.

Judging by the vociferous defence of Tallaght on this thread I don't know why people aren't looking to buy there or in similar areas, plenty of three bed semis there that are below 200k, you have the luas to the city and plenty of bus routes.

So I don't see what the problem is, especially if as the thread suggests house prices are unreachable to a couple on an average income?

I made no comment on desirable areas not existing. You can gauge what's desirable by what's increasing in value. I made a comment on the notion of 'respectable' areas, and their remarkable equivalence with affluent areas.

There are a significant number of houses worth north of that (some well well north of that) in Tallaght. They're just not for sale right now.

Anyway, not sure what the point is. €300K is a ****load of money. In terms of your bog standard 3 bed semi, even the nicer areas in Tallaght probably shouldn't be priced any higher than about €175K in a normal market.

A house is only worth what it sells for, that applies to high prices and low prices, if it sells for 500 then that's what it's worth if it sells for 100 the that's what it's worth.

Crime mostly- but nit picking with one another is what I had in mind. Obviously your comments about market distortion are very pertinent (and indeed deserve to be expanded upon).

I am unhappy with people tossing comments at one another- rather than debating the subject at hand- that is the point I was making.

Gorey has actually had a huge increase in burglaries and our large Wexford contingent in the office never miss a chance to talk about old folks in isolated rural houses there living in fear.
http://www.wexfordecho.ie/2013/11/26/burglary-shows-24-hike-gorey-district/

The whole talk of "crime" is a complete red herring because by international standards, crime is actually very low in Ireland and genuine "no go" areas (as opposed to "a little bit run down and working class for my liking" areas) are few and far between.
