ALONG THE BEAUTIFUL coast of North Dublin, a new collection of homes is making waves. Skylark is the latest addition to the Portmarnock area, offering thoughtfully planned two, three and four-bed homes. With a blend of detached, semi-detached, terraced and duplex options, along with apartments, this is a super option for families of every shape and size.
At the heart of Skylark’s appeal is its seamless balance between convenience and outdoor living. Designed with contemporary lifestyles in mind, each home features a high-spec finish, energy-efficient air-to-water heat pumps, and spacious gardens – ideal for entertaining, relaxing or letting the kids run free. Comfort and sustainability go hand in hand here.
One of the standout features of this development is the adjoining Skylark Park. When it’s finished, the park will stretch across three acres of landscaped greenery, offering a tranquil haven for residents right on their doorstep. Whether it’s a morning jog, weekend picnic or simply a place for children to explore, a large green space is a great addition to any new development.
Of course, location is key – and Skylark is just moments from Portmarnock’s Velvet Strand and the newly completed coastal cycle track linking Baldoyle and Portmarnock, outdoor enthusiasts are spoiled for choice. Whether you’re into golf, sea swimming or simply long walks by the water, the local area supports a vibrant and active lifestyle.
For those with a passion for sport, Portmarnock Golf Club — regarded as one of the finest links courses in the world — is practically in the backyard. Meanwhile, Malahide Golf Club, Sutton Golf Club and the Portmarnock Hotel & Links are just a short drive away. Local GAA, tennis, squash and swimming clubs round out the wealth of fitness and leisure options available.
When it comes to amenities, Skylark residents will enjoy the best of both worlds. You’re a stone’s throw from local essentials — Dunnes Stores, Lidl, independent boutiques and florists — and just minutes by DART or car from the buzzing social scene in Malahide Village. From artisan brunch spots like Avoca to the culinary delights of Siam Thai and Donnybrook Fair, the area offers a lively mix of dining, shopping and entertainment options. And for a perfect weekend outing? Head to Howth for its famous cliff walks and fresh seafood on the harbour.
Skylark is also ideal for commuters and families alike. With Portmarnock DART station only 500 metres away, Dublin city centre is easily reached. Access to the M50 and M1 motorways makes driving a breeze, while Dublin Airport is just 8 km away — ideal for frequent flyers. For families, the area boasts excellent educational facilities, including St Marnock’s National School and Portmarnock Community School, as well as a wide selection of creches and Montessori schools.
With its thoughtful design, outstanding location and strong sense of community, this is a place where families can truly thrive. Whether you’re looking for your first home or planning your next chapter, Skylark delivers the best of modern living by the sea.
