Our Verdict

"The Grid"

With a median price of €28.25/m² monthly, you are paying a premium for proximity to the runway rather than high-end finishes. Our neighborhood analysis lands this area squarely in 'THE_GRID'—it’s a reliable, middle-of-the-road territory that isn't quite a bargain but avoids the extreme volatility of the city center. The investment outlook remains steady because the airport workforce provides a permanent floor for demand, even if the local amenities are strictly utilitarian.

The Vibe:This is the practical side of Swords, dominated by established 1980s housing and the constant backdrop of Dublin Airport's northern perimeter. It lacks the polish of the town center but offers a functional, no-frills environment for those who rely on the 41 bus or the M1 to get to work. You'll find more paved driveways and pebbledash here than trendy cafes, making it a zone for people who value a short commute over architectural flair.

The median rent price in Swords-Forrest DED 1986, Swords is 28.25 per m² per month, 0% below the Swords city average of €28.25/m². Based on 4 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask

Does the aircraft noise impact the average rent here?

Not as much as you'd think; the convenience for airport staff keeps the m² stats high despite the overhead roar.

What is the typical property style in Swords-Forrest DED 1986?

It is heavily weighted toward three-bedroom semi-detached houses, so one-bed apartments are a rare find.

Is the investment outlook better here than in the town center?

It’s more stable; you’re trading the 'cool factor' for a consistent tenant pool of logistics and aviation professionals.

Is parking an issue for renters in this area?

Generally no, as most properties in this DED were built with off-street parking, unlike the cramped newer builds.

Will the MetroLink project affect prices in Forrest?

Speculation is already baked into the €36/m² upper limit, as proximity to future stops is a major selling point.
