Co Dublin from €259,500:  A brand new launch of houses and apartments on Forest Road, Swords will interest anyone looking for a home within reasonable commuting distance of the city centre.

Hooke & MacDonald will be taking bookings for phase one at Forest Hills, a Glenbard Construction project convenient to the airport and M50. Show units will be open for viewing on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

These are quite spacious apartments and townhouses and it's a small scheme, unlike most other new developments in the Swords area. The entire complement of 39 units at Forest Hills is for sale in this launch.

Prices start at €259,500 for 15 two-bedroom apartments with 65 sq m (700 sq ft) of living space. Fifteen three-bed duplexes of 125 sq m (1,345 sq ft) cost from €319,500. Nine townhouses with three bedrooms and 94-108 sq m (1,100-1,160 sq ft) of accommodation start at €339,500.

Buyers can expect to move in between the end of this year and spring 2005.
