How prices are measured on this page
Typical price is the median: half the sales were above it and half below. Average price is the mean, which a few very high or very low sales can pull up or down. They are two measures of the same sales, so they are expected to differ.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 from Jun | 99 | €550,000 | €640,198 |

Transport, broadband and zoning
Public transport stops inside the Terenure boundary, ComReg's fixed broadband coverage for its Small Areas, and how the current development plan zones the land.
- Stop density
- 81 stops across 4 km², about 20 per km². Bus stops are counted per pole, so a road served in both directions counts twice.
Broadband figures are ComReg's averages across the 71 Small Areas that make up Terenure: 98% of premises passed by a gigabit network and 71% connected. They describe the area, never one address.
Land use. 69% of the zoned land is residential under the current development plan, 2022 to 2028, 340 hectares in all.
| Zone | Description | Hectares | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| R2 | Existing residential | 233.2 | 69% |
| G5 | Mixed/general 'green'/recreation/conservation, other | 36.1 | 11% |
| S5 | Mixed/general community services/facilities uses | 22.1 | 6% |
| M1 | Mixed Use, general development, opportunity/proposal site | 19.5 | 6% |
| G1 | Open space, park | 17.9 | 5% |
| M3 | District, neighbourhood centre | 8.8 | 3% |
| G3 | Conservation, amenity or buffer space, corridor/belt, landscape | 2.5 | 1% |
