Inchicore, parts of drimnagh... Irishtown

annoyedgal · 19-09-2018 08:19PM

300k might get you a 1 bed in irishtown! We sold there this year. Crazy prices.

awec · 19-09-2018 08:21PM

An hour by what? Car?

In that case pretty much the entirety of Dublin is open to you.

annoyedgal · 19-09-2018 08:27PM

If your not put off by a m50 commute OP have a look in kilbarrack.

Glasnevin

Glasnevin for under 300K?

jon1981 · 19-09-2018 08:56PM

Or wait for these 150k houses to appear. Whatever about the timeline, there's some seriously good site locations in the city being targetted for these developments. I believe cathal brugha barracks is one. That's an amazing location. Potentially you could get a 3 bed in there for 350k under the proposed government scheme.

Kilnamanagh, Belgard Heights, Kingswood Heights, Old Bawn. Basically the older, settled areas. Avoid would be Jobstown, Kilinarden, Fortunestown etc.

Same for Clondalkin. Areas within walking distance to the village like Newlands, Bushfield, Hazelwood, Monastery, Johns Wood, Johns Park, Willow, Laurel Park, Brigids Ave. And avoid Rowlagh, Neilstown, Bawnogue etc.

To generalise completely, yes to east of The Square, no to west. I live in the west, but it's a newish estate (c. 12 years old) and not one of the badly planned 80's monstrosities. New 175 bus would get you to Sandyford via Dundrum Luas within an hour off-peak, not sure about peak.

Old Bawn is a good shout, but the prices might be higher than €300k.

+1 On Kilbarrack but under 300K will be pushing it now. Most of the ex corpo 3 beds are going slightly over that.

Are there any actual plans to convert cathal burgh barracks or some political just mentioned it'd be a good idea? It would be fantastic though, its a huge plot of land right by the south canal

fleet_admiral · 19-09-2018 09:45PM

Balrothery in Tallaght. Me and my wife are strongly considering selling up here in Terenure and buying up there. Its a lovely, quiet settled estate and right beside the motorway, so you would be in Sandyford in minutes

Probably missed the boat on those areas being sub €300k. Some houses going for over €400k in these estates now.

It is total pie in the sky. Would not be putting all my eggs in that basket.

Houses in Old Bawn are selling over €320K at the minute . Even ones needing full renovation are going for that and ones in good order well over it

Hi OP
Earlier this year I spent quite some time hunting for southside homes at around this price point, and approximately the same areas too:
(For a young married couple of my acquaintance)
Surprisingly, I did find a number of properties: but they were either very small, or in areas that were traditionally quite poor
Must it be a house?
You will find apartments...but they have no gardens, of course.
Best places were: Sallynoggin, or Sundrive. Old council houses getting gentrified are still possible hunting-grounds if you are willing to do the modernising yourself (bit by bit, lol)
Cherry Orchard had several, but...you could end up with some problem neighbours (no offense meant)

What size of and type of property were you hoping for?
I've already pulled up from DAFT.ie some apartments - Bohernabreena, Rathcoole etc

Kimmage, Sundrive Rd.

Near enough to the M50 that you would be in Sandyford in under an hour very good public in to town and good schools.

If you stretched the budget a bit:

It needs work but its a large house with a big garden and a garage it would make a very nice home.

John DoeReMi · 20-09-2018 06:05PM

I live on an estate in Inchicore called The Ranch - mix of cottages and two up / two down houses. No gardens though. Nice little estate. Rented there years ago then bought when the crash happened.

We have our reasons to consider it. We have a front and back garden that you wouldnt swing a cat in, and a seven year old son that needs a garden to play. We also have the most interfering nosey neighbours that you can think of, think Hyacinth Bouquet multiplied by 100.

The financial side of it is also tempting us. A house opposite us sold for almost 800k a couple of months ago and ours is recently renovated from top to bottom so we could ask for more, a house we were looking at in Balrothery was on the market for 280

Clogher Road, Crumlin

https://m.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/139-clogher-road-crumlin-dublin-12/4273258

Close to town. All amenities nearby. Bought here myself and love it

I wouldn't live there. I have a friend who does and she absolutely hates it.

Much nicer parts of Tallaght and a better house nearer to Sandyford too.

I live round the corner on Lally Road, great little street and very handy to town.
I looked in the Ranch but as you say no garden so ruled it out.
It's also not Inchicore... Its ballyfermot... No matter what way the EAs spin it I think
