Have been looking around south dublin at property recently and in view of the M50, the now confirmed luas extension and the new retail developments in Carrickmines and Ballyogan these areas seem to getting pretty well serviced with infrastructure. I know there are not many pubs in the area at the moment.
Does this make property in these areas a better bet than say Cabinteely, Deansgrange, (West) Killiney types of places where all there seems to be is old style infrequesnt bus route and a drive in the car to get to a Dart station?
Specifically we have been tempted by the new developments in Carrickmines in order to avoid stamp duty.
Falling market aside I am thinkiing that a property within a few minutes walk of the Luas has to be easier to shift in a few years than something in a more traditional area of South Dublin with no easy access to quick transport to the city?
