They have great public transport, mature areas, and good schools.
I know 'good value' and 'affordability' is subjective.
You would get a 3-bed semi in either area with a big garden and lots of potential for sub 450k in either area.

My post came about after talking to someone who wanted to buy in Phibsbougro but could not get anything they were reluctant to look at Beaumont, Beaumont is next to Phibsbourgro.
The second point is what is wrong with buying a house that is solid but needs refurbishment and doing it up over 4 or 5 years tipping away at it bit by bit.
I knew someone who did that they could only afford the double glazing for the front of the house one year and the double glazing for the back the next year.
they they are both extremely working class
basically portabello west
Or good value?
If Im going to spend 448k on a house Im going to want at least one ensuite bathroom.
A house in good order in either of those areas would sell for something between 500-600k. A new build, if there are any, would be even more. I'm not sure what you mean by "popular".
This thread is a nonsense…what does "more popular" even mean OP? The market is currently gaga with every property enjoying elevated demand - even in Beaumount and Walkinstown!
You seemed to have missed the prices are higher than you stated. There are cheaper properties being sold but they weren't 3 bed semis being sold at full price.
Good value is subjective

Is that what is considered good value these days?
To me id rather buy in a mature area with good transport links and spend a few years renovating that go further out to get a new house.
I was going by the property price register.
I didn't say unpopular but the way things are you imagine there be people queuing up to buy or even look at Ardmore park or Montrose again good value.
Beaumont certainly not unpopular, well served with shops, schools, services, bus routes, near airport and the hospital.
But maybe not as popular as other areas on the Northside that are on DART line, or closer to bigger parks \ the sea.
I dont know what you mean by not popular. Is there a swathe of unocuppied/for sale/for rent properties in either area?
Considering the shortage of property citywide, people go where they can find somewhere affordable.
You would be lucky to get a house in Beaumont for 450K let alone less than that. Last person I know that bought a property in Beaumont where the asking price was 450k paid 540k less than 8 months ago. There are a few apartments in the area which go for less but there aren't that many.
I don't know anything about Walkinstown but you have Beaumont wrong
I think Beaumont is popular enough but I know what you mean not achieving bidding wars like Cabra 🤣. Beaumont is superior area to Cabra, decent houses etc close to town.
