We all know how difficult it is to get on the property ladder in Cork City. It's a jungle out there (and we're not talking about the state of the back gardens).
But it might surprise you to find there's a good range of decent, even attractive and quirky city pads and starter homes on the market for under €200k.
We've picked out 5 that are on the market right now on Daft.ie. And we reckon they offer a good package of affordability, potential and proximity to the city.
So in no particular order, we've looked at;
6 Windmill Road - €199,000
A two bedroom terrace that's recently had a pile of renovation work done to it, in a lovely part of the south city centre, 10 minutes walk from Oliver Plunkett Street - on the market for £199,000 since May 19th.
97 High Street - €180,000
A two bedroom terraced town house located close to Cork City Centre and with direct access to Douglas Road. On at €180,000 since May 20th.
1 Seminary Villas, Blackpool - €200k
Lots of charm, recently renovated to a high standard - this 2-bed end of terrace in a mature neighbourhood in Blackpool has open plan spaces and looks like a lot of value for €200,000.
5 Donnybrook Terrace - Donnybrook - €200,000
This characterful end of terrace two bed-bed comes up for public auction on June 13th - it's been renovated and modernised and could be a real steal for someone who knows their property - in a really sought-after area beyond Douglas.
2 Stonecourt - Tivoli - €165,000
Close to the city, this 2 bed 1st floor apartment in a gated, converted stone warehouse offers a modern, well-finished interior with heritage and character - the perfect city pad for young professionals? Will always be easy to rent!
