Average rent in Sandyford

From the rents on tenancies registered with the Residential Tenancies Board in Sandyford, Co. Dublin.

The Board files Sandyford under 2 postal districts and publishes a figure for each. They are shown separately below, because an average of two averages that sit behind different numbers of tenancies is a figure nobody published.

Dublin 16

Dublin 16€1,941

Measured at July to September 2021.

This is the last figure the Board published for this area, from July to September 2021, roughly 4 years ago. It has published nothing since, which happens once too few tenancies are registered in a place to report one without identifying them. Treat it as what rent was then, not what it is now.

Quarter by quarter

  1. Q1 2021€1,955
  2. Q2 2021€1,969
  3. Q3 2021€1,941

The bars do not start at zero. A rent series never goes near it, and a bar drawn from zero would make every quarter look identical.

By number of bedrooms

  1. 1 to 3 bed€1,918

Measured at Q3 2021. Where a size is missing, the Board withheld it because too few tenancies of that size were registered to publish a figure.

What this figure is, and what it is not

It is the average rent on tenancies in Sandyford that were registered with the Residential Tenancies Board, which every landlord is required to do. It is an average rather than a median, so a small number of expensive lettings pull it upwards.

It is not the rent being asked in advertisements. An asking rent is what a landlord hopes for and this is what was signed.

It is not what a sitting tenant is likely to be paying either. A tenancy enters this average at the rent agreed when it started and does not enter again, so the figure leans towards recently agreed rents and sits above what somebody who has been in the same home for years pays.

If your own rent is going up, the figure that governs it is not this one. What a landlord may lawfully charge is worked out from the rules and your own history, and the rent increase calculator does that with the figures shown.

Buying instead of renting in Sandyford

The median house in Sandyford sold for €434,000 in 2025, across 126 sales on the Property Price Register. Every year since 2010 for Sandyford.

A sale median and a rent average are two different statistics about two different sets of homes. Neither one converts into the other and nothing on this site treats them as though it did.

Average rent across Co. Dublin, and every other town in it.

Where this comes from

The quarterly and annual average monthly rent tables published by the Residential Tenancies Board, via the Central Statistics Office, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. Imported 9 September 2026. The yearly figures come from the annual table rather than from averaging the quarters, because averaging four averages would produce a figure the Board never published.
