In D5 now
D 13 is grand once you are near the DART
Although Howth and Sutton are D13 AND HARDLY WORKING CLASS

I was talking about the areas in the OPs budget :pac:

Sutton is notions territory.

If the budget will stretch and you are prepared to put up dodgy decor for a while this is not a bad buy.
Main bedroom is the master bedroom and boxroom knocked into one,Funny room downstairs is where a small hairdressing business was carried out and the bathroom suite is an odd colour.
However given time and money you could end up with this
Same type of house just around the corner

If its 5 minutes walk from the dart it myst be Kilbarrack -big difference between Kilbarrack & Donaghmede. But the do look spacious inside & still better than an apartment in either location not that D has apartments. Kilbarrack is festooned with no go flats.

While I wouldn't buy an apartment in Kilbarrack, Kilbarrack is grand. In fact there is a house just over the OPs budget for sale on Briarfield Road, which is the side I'd look at, the other side of the DART station not so much.

Although I feel we've wandered (about 12KM) off topic here :pac:

I was thinking that myself; there's a DART station in Donaghmede as well as Kilbarrack.
