Any suggestions of where would be nice and why/definitely not nice and why.

I'm purposely leaving this quite unspecific

Thanks a mill

Do you need to commute somewhere?

banie01

County?
Location of work?
Maximum commute time?
Rural or Urban?
How many bedrooms?
Garden preference?

Your question is too vague to be answered with any specificity

Get a fine house in Leitrim for that money

Buy a boat.

True, I work near the phoenix park, i don't have a car. My folks live in ballinteer. Definitely want a house and not an apartment.

Cheers

Nessa12345

I'll be living alone but want a spare room

Heres Johnny

Celbridge, leixlip, Maynooth, Lucan.
Can get houses there in the 300k region, 3 beds.
Easy enough to phoenix Park from any of them really

Is this a forever home or have you still the party hat on?

Nessa12345

some suggestions are cabra, crumlin,drimnagh,bluebell, finglas, inchicore and there's one in glasvevin

amdublin

Where do you live currently? Do you want to live there?

Rather than feeding information to us piecemeal, why not give more specifics in your original post?

forever house

Loads in Dublin 12

Will you be buying a car?

Do you planning walking to work or getting public transport? A bicycle maybe?

What do you do currently for getting to work and out to your parents?

amdublin

Where do you currently socialize? Is that important to you

Op, where do you actually want to live?? Might help us give you some guidance

Nessa12345

I live in ballinteer but that and its environs are way above my budget but i love it. Would prefer not to have to take a tenant but haven't ruled it out

Nessa12345

Not buying a car get luas and bus at the moment - thanks for your interest in this

Nessa12345

I'd like to live close to town but prices very high

Walkinstown is the best you’ll get value and area wise imo.
Parts of blanchardstown aren’t too bad either.

Nessa12345

I socialize around town and I would like to live in city centre but seems i'm priced out

Tipperary Offaly Limerick would all have nice houses for that money. Tipp and limerick would have public transport links to the capital.

You'll pick up a good size 3-4 bed in Tyrrelstown for 265+.
You're clued in on the current mortgage lending rules , I take it?

There are loads of houses in Dublin 8 & Cabra for 300,000 or less.
Close to your work & close to town.

Depends what type of crime you are talking about.
There's a lot of difference just in different streets, ask people you know around the areas. Also, visit them at different times of day, night & during the week & weekends.
The closer to the luas in cabra is the 'better'area.
Closer to kilmainham in d8 is the 'better' area, that's imo.
Beat of luck

As my uncle would say the best part of Cabra is within the triangle. Here is an example below, but wait for less than 300K. Annamoe Road, Drive etc. You may get one as a renovation project.
