Houses closer to Clontarf and Killester DART stations have potential as the journey to town is becoming more difficult. Good period redbricks on Victoria, Haddon, St Lawrence and Hollybrook roads always sell well. For investors, a two-bedroom apartment at around £180,000 is good value and will rent for £700 a month.

Park your car and walk around the smaller roads in the area. Look for older houses needing work with good back gardens to expand. You can buy older houses like this around Charlemont Road for £300,000 to £400,000.

Don't be put off if a house needs a bit of work. Buy in the right location and at the end of the day it's a better proposition. Seafield Road and Mount Prospect Avenue are probably the best roads in Clontarf. Buy within three miles of the city centre and no matter what downturn comes, you'll be on a winner.

Detached houses in Clontarf don't come up that often and bungalows, especially near the rose gardens, are in high demand. Victorian and Edwardian houses command the highest prices because of their rarity and style.

In the Dollymount Park and Conquer Hill areas you can still get a three-bedroom house for up to £180,000 needing a bit of work. It's still in Clontarf but much cheaper than Vernon and Kincora. Bungalows are also very popular and a good investment and any house with a good garden, because Clontarf is a family area.
