A new report published today has shown that properties near Dart Stations and the Luas lines are now the most expensive in the country .
The survey by Daft found that Sandymount,which has its own Dart station has the most expensive properties for commuters to buy averaging nearly €800,000.
The report says that close proximity to a Dart station drives up prices with high prices in areas such as Dalkey,Sandycove and Glasthule .

On the north side of the city Howth has the most expensive asking prices at €566,000 on average with Malahide and Sutton also property hotspots .
