Regarding detached houses in Malahide they seem to offer much better value than properties in D4/D6.

There is obviously a slightly greater supply of decent quality 4/5 bed houses in Malahide which would be a factor but there is a greater difference in price than would account for this.

Both areas are prosperous, have good schools, public transport and a good variety of local amenities.

Malahide would be 10km more from the city center which is also a factor but is it one that would justify the difference in price between similar properties?



Basically I am looking for opinions from people who have no real attachment to either side of the Liffey...

Why would you be willing to pay an approx 50% premium for a similar house to live in D4/D6 instead of Malahide?

In a word... yes.
 
Personally, I couldn't justify spending that kind of extra money for a house in d4/d6 as opposed to Malahide. I generally like both areas, but I would prefer Malahide because of the amenities. (proximity to the Sea,Dart service,nice village,ruralish atmosphere, etc). If price &distance wasn't an issue, which would you choose?
