Starter home: South Douglas Road, Cork €149,000

Back when Sun View and Líos na Gréine were built, the setting off the south Douglas Road was next to Cork city’s landfill site.

Now that ‘facility’ has been made over into a multi-use public amenity with walks, ponds, and parks, play spaces, and areas for performances... it just needs to be opened.

The park’s arrival will benefit whoever buys No 19 Sun View, as the two-bed apartment is right by the boundary, say agents Jeremy Murphy Associates.
