THE AVERAGE LIST price of a property in Castleknock is now almost €450,000, according to the latest figures from Daft.ie.

Analysis for the third quarter of 2017 puts the average asking price in the area at €443,806.

This makes it one of the priciest neighbourhoods north of the Liffey – the fourth most expensive, in fact, with only Howth, Clontarf and Sutton outstripping it on home values. Across the river, it is roughly on a par with Cabinteely, Knocklyon and Ballinteer.

It is one of just a few areas where prices are approaching their Celtic Tiger peak. Average values in Castleknock peaked during the last boom at just under €562,000.

But prices aren’t rising as fast as they are in some places. In total, the listed cost of property has risen by just over 61% in Castleknock since hitting its lowest level in 2012/2013.

That is significantly below average for Dublin as a whole. The mean price increase since the trough across the capital is about 70%.
