2017 Luas and Dart House Price stop map
We’ve pulled together a full DART & Luas house price map of the capital, showing the average asking price for a three-bedroom semi-detached home close to each station.
Commuters living on the Dublin coastline pay on average the most for a property, with homes close to the Sandymount DART averaging €784,000.
Properties near DART stations are among the most expensive with Lansdowne Road (€737k), Sydney Parade (€706k) and Dalkey (€699k) accounting for four of the top five most expensive stations to live by, on the new maps produced by Daft.ie.
On the Luas, homes close to Beechwood on the green line command the highest average asking prices (€727k), while those living in the city centre pay most on the Luas red line with properties near the Spencer Dock stop averaging €597,000.
Daft.ie also analysed the average asking prices for each stop on the new Luas cross-city line, which opened on Saturday. Properties close to the new Dawson, Trinity and Westmoreland stops came out on top, with average asking prices of €519,000.
Commenting on the figures, Ronan Lyons,economist at Trinity College Dublin said, “It is well known that transport infrastructure can have a big impact on property values. Over the last 20 years, Ireland has added lots of new infrastructure, including motorways and the DART. How these investments pay for themselves is, of course, a different question. One option increasingly considered elsewhere is value capture – in other words, where the taxpayer brings about an increase in wealth by paying for new infrastructure, it shares in part of that new wealth. The opening of the cross-city Luas has clearly added value in the areas newly served by light rail: three-bed homes near the new Luas stations saw their values increase by 15% over the last year, compared to a 6% increase in similar homes near other rail stations. Whether the taxpayer gets some payback, however, is down to the Government.”
