Dalkey-Bullock DED 1986Rent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Final Boss"
With a median of €40/m² monthly, this area is the undisputed FINAL_BOSS of the Dublin rental market. You aren't paying for modern floor plans or generous square footage; you are paying for the privilege of a Coliemore Road-adjacent postcode and the stability that comes with it. Our neighborhood analysis confirms that while the m² stats are punishing, the investment outlook is iron-clad because supply in this specific DED is effectively capped by geography.
The Vibe:This is a land of high granite walls, narrow lanes leading to Bullock Harbour, and the constant smell of salt air. The crowd consists of wealthy retirees and C-suite executives who value the 30-minute DART commute into the city but want to return to a fortress by the sea. Expect zero street parking and neighbors who have lived here for forty years and know everyone's business.

Locals Ask
Does the €40/m² median actually get me a sea view?
Not necessarily; that price gets you through the door, but genuine unobstructed views over the Sound often push the m² stats toward the €48.5 ceiling.
Is car ownership viable here?
It is a headache; the roads around Bullock Harbour were built for horse carts, and most rental units offer tight gravel spaces that will ruin your alloys.
How does the Average Rent compare to neighboring areas?
It’s significantly higher than Glasthule or Sandycove, as this specific DED includes some of the most protected and prestigious residential acreage in the country.
What is the long-term investment outlook for the Bullock area?
Predictably excellent; the lack of new-build sites ensures that existing stock remains at a premium regardless of broader market fluctuations.
Are there any hidden costs to renting in this DED?
Expect higher heating bills; many of these properties are older, stone-built structures that look better in photos than they feel in a damp Irish February.
