Pricings being reasonable doesn’t matter at the moment. If you can afford it then its reasonable now because you don’t have the luxury of being fussy.
2beds seem pretty standard.
With A3 you’ll save a lot on bills vs. older places, especially in winter.
They are typical but definitely not reasonable. €500 a week for a small single bed apartment on the far outskirts of Dublin. How do single people afford that?
They look a little steep for the two bed ones, would you be getting a housemate? Or are you splitting it with your partner?
Not great but there’s no choice now really
One bedroom apartments in Ireland? Now that’s a rarity.
Standard prices really but mad money for the edges of Dublin, theres nothing in Lucan its the hinterlands.
Holy moly. That is a lot of money to live in a fairly unremarkable suburb miles from the city.
I’ve done a tonne of work in Shackleton, still am come Monday, lovely place but I know there are council houses and hap houses in there, worth looking into ?
There is nothing reasonable about rent prices these days
Reasonable in the sense you’d be hard pushed finding better in this market.
New build development with what looks like high specs internally, company managed and free gym / work from home common areas makes it seem a bit more reasonable.
Crazy money obviously, and depending on your work location if you have to go to an office, could be a very long commute.
All current rental prices are unreasonable. I used to pay 850 for a 3 bed house less than 10 years ago. You’d be lucky to find a similar one for under 2000 now
Looks to me like there were a heap of evictions to get that sheet all prices the same.
Seems normal enough but not reasonable was a one bed in athlone on daft for 1800 last summer so prices are just max anywhere, I don’t know how any of us can afford that alone even with a middle earning job
It burns my eyes
I would recommend not to go with Hooke and McDonald. Terrible at resolving issues once you have the apartment. I don’t have heating more than a month now. H&M are totally ignorant about it.
Nothing reasonable about those prices.
reasonable? no. standard? yes
Looked up the apartments online there and they do look pretty nice in fairness so am not surprised the rent is that rate tbh. It’s all relative to today’s housing so arguing over whether is fair or not is kinda irrelevant there is huge demand and low supply. From what am told also we are 10years away from meeting demand so as depressing as it is this could be the tip of the iceberg expect to see alot more immigration from graduates as well as full time workers who want an actual work/life balance
Life is made of decisions.
For half this price you can rent similar housing on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea with a much better quality of life (healthcare, food, weather, infrastructures).
Sure, you will have to use sun screen and give up Guinness and pudding, but I bet you will survive the trauma.
For Lucan that’s ridiculous, but not unsurprising. For the one bed at €1,900 p/m, if you wanted that to be the suggested 30% of income rule most societies advise on for rent, you’d have to make €6,333 p/m after tax, which is roughly €130K per year, that’s how ridiculous this country has gotten. The absolute state of this place when you have to make €130K per year to reasonably afford a shitty 1 bed apartment in Lucan…
More like Hooke, line and sinker amirte?
Jesus. €25 for an extra sq meter on the Ground Floor.
Hell fucking no they’re not reasonable. They’re part of the issue.
It’s pretty well in line for a new build in the area. “Reasonable” is a stretch, but there’s nothing reasonable on the market in general. If you’re not in a rush and you’re not picky about quality you could probably find something closer to the city centre for the same price or maybe a little cheaper, though whether you’d be able to actually secure it would be another question.
Will someone pay these prices? Yes.
Depends on what side of the fence you are. Do you want to rent it or is it a forecast of rent for investment purposes?
Im betting there is no legal requirements for putting the word large in front of those rooms. Wouldnt be surprised if they were nice apartments but cramped.
Nothing in Dublin is reasonable
I can remember leaving shocked when I view a place in Dublin and how casual the land lord was that I’d be sharing the BEDROOM with two others?
I promptly told him to stop wasting my time and asking “am I sharing the bedroom?” became a abnormal question that I had to ask for future reviews
If people can afford that rent they can afford a mortgage. I guess saving the deposit is the issue. It would be nice if that was a separate loan the government could provide.
I wouldn’t call it reasonable but it’s certainly around the average
For inner Dublin yeah.
Not Lucan though, that’s barely even Dublin
My gf was renting D4 Gasworks 2 bed 3rd floor for 2.2K – why would she pay the same or more to move to Lucan. What’s even there ?
in Lucan?
This shit in Lucan?
Oh ffs
Not reasonable for anywhere, fucking joke
I live in San Diego in the US and I pay less than that for a 2 bedroom in the middle of the city. Dublin is nice and all but they must be smoking
Yes. If it’s one of the large landlords maintaining 1000s of apartments. This is the market rate. Don’t like it. Start blaming nimby dumbfucks
I’m from Lucan and have lived in NYC for the last 7 years. I never, ever would have imagined I’d be paying less rent to live in a nice neighborhood here than I would for a flat in Lucan. It’s absolutely insane.
Lucan is very far out from the city – the commute is a massive pain in the hole. And these estates are thrown up in less-developed parts of Lucan. You’re not going to have the same selection of shops, restaurants or pubs that you would have closer to Lucan village.
It’s beyond disheartening to see the state of the Irish property market today.
Dublin is fucked
Solidarity from Scotland
Least you’re not run and controlled by the Brits.
Brits still run Scotland
You’ve traded Brits for vulture funds
Fucking hell
They’re not. Dublin’s gonna fucking implode if things keep going like this.
55sqm isn’t a large one bedroom apartment.
Protest Protest Protest…. you guys are doing nothing but helping corporations with their profits…..
a) Dublin is The Land of Scam at the moment. House prices and all rentals are priced in fairy gold.
b) “Large” means nothing unless it has a square metre measurement, as the actress said to the bishop.
The fact I work full time and cant afford any of these unless I spent every cent of my monthly wages on them…
You just need the right mindset for these prices. Sure it looks big if you pay all in one go. But it’s only like €3 per hour, or even just 3c per square meter per hour.
I moved up to Dublin in the 90s and was paying £35/week in a shared apartment with 3 others.
I spent more money each week on pints.
The housing crisis is preventing a generation of young adults from being young adults.
This is the end result of FF/FG policies. There will never be change here because this is their policy, they celebrate this and no doubt scoff at the stories on this thread from those forced to emigrate for a reasonable quality of life. The financialisation of housing has been a catastrophe encouraged along by our landlord class of politicians.
No, but all rents are unreasonable in Dublin.
6 months ago I moved out of a large 2 bed 2 bath apartment in a RPZ, my rent started at about €1100 per month in 2015 and was only €1450 when I moved out in 2022 and that was in tallaght, not all the way out in Lucan.
Now happily paying €1100 a month on a mortgage – IT CAN BE DONE, DONT LOSE HOPE.
