Buy 3 houses in longford, rent two of them out and commute to Dublin via railway.
Or not

Sounds like Stoneybatter would be perfect for you.

Palmerstown, the hidden gem in Dublin. Close to town, great houses, QBC all the way to town, beside Liffey Valley and the M50, N4 and N7.

Friends live there and I sometimes envy them. Just a thought.

For a while they took in Maynooth students (direct bus from the door). Worked very well, as most of the students went home most weekends.

Just throwing it out.

I'm always surprised at how Palmerston is forgotten in Dublin.
Huge gardens, good well built houses, great value.
Inside the M50
Why is it not more sought after?

Gem of a house here if you are willing to put in the work:rolleyes:

You could have a look around the part of Drimnagh near the Luas line or even a bit closer to James hospital / Dublin 8

I've relatives on Kilworth Road in Drimnagh who rent a room to hospital staff and its close to the city.

A large amount of social housing but unlike other areas it luckily never really had a crime problem so historic snobbery and proximity to Ballyfermot

Re Palmerstown and Dublin 8. If you can find a house there for around 300k its because of crime. Some parts of both areas are fine and priced accordingly for 350k + but theres parts of palmerstown that arent great. Also by the time buses get there in the morning many are full up.

TSQ

Dublin 1, often see fixer-uppers under A200k, and ready to move in houses around 300k. Cheap for the location, as has a bad rep for drug crime but crime greatly reduced in recent years (the crims seem to have moved to the outer burbs). Some lovely quiet cul de sacs off the NCR and Summerhill. Single rooms rent for €800/ 900 month (all tax free for owner occupier) And no shortage of tenants.

Ah I viewed that last week. The pictures don't do justice to quite how much work needs doing.

The estate agent had a kitchen tray covering a large hole in the floor!

A horrendous kip for a 3rd of a million, no thanks.

Literally a derelict box you'd get for 20 grand in Roscommon!
