HOUSE-HUNTING? HERE are five properties in the Dublin 13 area that are open for viewing this weekend.

The area is loved for its proximity to the stunning coastline around Sutton and Howth with all the attendant outdoor activities you’d expect – watersports, golf, tennis, hikes on Howth Head and more. Weekend markets, fresh fish straight off the boats and a plethora of local restaurants appeal to foodies while there are great transport links with the DART and Dublin Bus operating. Families like the close community feel as well as a large choice of good local schools. Read more about the area here.
