Our preferences are a coastal town in the Dart line in the north, because we like it more than the south side equivalent (it gets better after Dun Laoghaire, but then it starts to get a bit far from the city). Clontarf/Raheny are also nice but a bit more expensive when looking at new developments. Malahide ticks most of our boxes in terms of amenities, closeness to the village, the dart station, the coast and the parks. Our price range is around 650k. We will still visit other areas both in the north and the south, we are not in a rush but we just got the AIP.

I know Mercy College in Coolock has it as a feeder but don't know about other schools. I think the Malahide community school catchment area might go as far as the Kinsealy church (the school itself would have that answer) so all of kinsaley lane could be in the catchment, not 100% though. So secondary might be more about where you live if you're coming from Nicholas of Myra. I really think the whole catchment/feeder/parish thing is so confusing. Can't see why they don't just draw a circle of a certain radius around each school and that's the catchment. My kids are outside the catchment of the school they go to but they're possibly the closest living students. The catchment boundary is the road our estate is off and the school is just down the other side of that road.
zootroid wrote: » Thanks. I agree with you on the catchment / feeder / parish thing. We would be interested in some of the developments along the back road, but the ambiguity of whether they're in the catchment area for schools is off-putting

Family there hate what it’s becoming now having lived there since the mid 1960’s My cousin who works in Santry compared to about 8 years ago has an extra 15 - 20 minutes in the morning just trying to get out of Malahide.... 40-50 minutes to go 13 kilometers. They are in St Sylvester’s Villas.... Fingal county council give not one shît, they pedestrianized New St at the behest of businesses, the locals have been up in arms about that with the council even hanging up on my cousin who is quietness and politeness personified but was persistent when she wasn’t getting straight answers to straight questions.. A certain family of publicans have huge sway in the area and always have as relates to anything going on in Malahide... they have been the drivers and lobbying politicians and the council.

These are the horrific scenes on a New Street that the locals are up in arms over. If only the view was replaced with whole a load of traffic. The town would be so much nicer.
859,000 for the brookfield 4 bed semi show house?
Is that where the market is at?
The other four beds sold for 670,000 - 699,000 for the same house (without being the show house).
That is a sizeable premium for carpets and couches?
Up 22% in a year?
859k for a 138sqm 4-bed semi is complete gouging. They’re really hoping for a huge fool! I’d be surprised if the banks agreed the valuation.
I’ve been in this house, it’s tiny for that price and it’s not even detached. Anyone buying that is 🔥 lighting money on fire.
Hardly a typo and they meant to price it at 759k? I know show houses typically command a premium, but 159k above the non show houses that all closed weeks to months ago?
Genuinely interested to see if they can find a buyer at that price.
There are other, second gen homes in the area, at 120sq m asking mid 700's though, d1 energy rating.
That also seems a strong asking. But particularly given the ber, etc. Interested to see do they find a buyer though or are these just try on asking prices and come back to the market in spring 2022 for real pricing?
One thing to be very worried about in relation to Seamount Rise is the houses are going on sale first. Then the 76 apartments will be sold, likely to a vulture who will actually pillage the council for Malahide rents.
You could end up spending 800k to live in a council estate.
I would say you are bang on there.
So many new developments are advertised with prices as POA. Whats the reason for that?
