What will my money get me... in Ireland's most expensive suburb?
Sandycove took the top spot in Daft.ie’s 2018 Wealth Report.
PUBLISHED EARLIER THIS month, Daft.ie’s 2018 Wealth Report took a deep dive into some of Ireland’s most expensive areas to live in.
Ireland’s priciest suburb? That’d be the leafy seaside village of Sandycove in Dublin. According to the report, the average price of a property in the prestigious southside spot is €910k.
Whether Dublin’s enviable south side is on your radar or not, we saw it only fitting to round up four properties that are currently on the market there, from a seaside period home to a modern build with complete privacy…
Marine Parade, Sandycove – €3,500,000
If the thought of a quick dip gets you out of bed in the morning, then Cove Lodge is definitely a great place to start your home hunt. The famed Forty Foot bathing spot is just minutes away from this 3,350 sq ft four-bedroom home, and the front door literally opens up to the waterfront.
Picture-perfect walks in Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey, and Glenageary are all around the corner and the local Sandycove DART station will have you in Dublin city centre in under 25 minutes. Families can take their pick of several primary and secondary schools, and the area features plenty of bars, sports clubs and restaurants.
