Docklands

A mix of tech headquarters, theatres, new apartment blocks and waterfront paths around the docks. The area is clean and modern but still finding its personality compared with older neighbourhoods.

The Luas Red Line, DART at Grand Canal Dock and Pearse stations, and cycle lanes make commuting quick. Many residents are a 10-minute walk from their office.

In 2026 the median sale price is about €495K, roughly €6,500 per square metre, and a typical 2-bedroom rental costs about €2,900 a month. Prices are up 3.5% on a year ago and homes take around 30 days to sell, which points to strong demand.

Most homes are apartments with service charges, so the fine print matters. Wind off the water can be strong on exposed terraces, and there are fewer schools than in the established southside suburbs.
