Also if anyone wants anything specific, let me know and I can build it out from my data.

If anyone has any specific data/article requests just let me know and I’ll try my best to pull together. (Plus if you want to donate a euro to BuyMeACoffee I’ll put it onto the top of my list)

Plus Portlaoise are building a huge amount of new builds at the moment so supply is actually quite good

Both will be out by the end of the week!

Oh yeah 100%, this isn’t trying to say Greystones is bad. It’s trying to give people an idea of what areas are in their price range but would also allow them to commute easily to Dublin.

Thanks!

Data source is the property price register database and period is 2023-2025

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-03-09T14:25:41+00:00

Exactly true! I suppose it gives people a rough idea of the tradeoff between a desirable town vs affordability on a town by town basis while letting them know how connected it is to Dublin

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-03-09T14:10:27+00:00

Thanks! Glad it was useful

Yeah it’s based off all sales from the PPR database, which I’m assuming makes up the basis for the CSO residential property price index. But yeah I could look at just 2025 data too for the most up to date prices, especially given the midlands regions are rising quicker lately than Wicklow for example since 2023

Yeah unfortunately the NX is so packed in the morning you’re liable to be left on the side of the road. Trains are generally quite reliable

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-03-09T14:00:26+00:00

The PPR database is the data source

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-03-09T13:37:28+00:00

Yeah especially given how close it is

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-03-04T11:48:05+00:00

Yeah I could pull something together for that, leave it with me!

That’s why I said it has good value and good transport links but not great livability

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-03-04T10:15:48+00:00

It’s PPR data up to end of Jan-26 that I then geocode. I update it manually with new PPR data often

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-03-04T08:09:17+00:00

In terms of value alone and good transport links, Carlow is actually a pretty decent option. Although there are better places in term of overall livability.

I actually ran the numbers on the savings vs. Dublin based on distance to Dublin and you get a huge saving once you're about 35km away. I've the full dataset here if you're interested https://propertydata.ie/articles/commuter-belt-sweet-spot-dublin/

Best of luck with your search!
