How Schools Affect House Prices in Ireland

The cost of living near schools is a series we are running to examine what factors (besides location, number of bedrooms, property type etc.) influence the price of houses and by how much.
Daft.ie has worked in conjunction with researchers from Trinity College, Dublin to use leading research methods to investigate how proximity to schools affects house prices in Ireland. In particular we wanted to answer the following three questions;
Do people pay more to live close to a school?
Does this “school premium” change as you move around the country?
Does the premium change depending on the type or quality of school?
We hope you take the time to read the report, and as always, we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

It's an interesting study because it puts actual data behind something many buyers have suspected for years. School quality and proximity can definitely influence property values, but I'd also be curious to see how factors like public transport and local amenities compare. On a different note, when I want a break from reading reports and statistics, I usually check out interactive games like dream catcher results a nice change of pace after digging through market research.
