Imagined homes for each of Marian Keyes' fictitious Walsh Sisters creations; sisters Anna, Rachel, Claire, Maggie, and Helen, for sale from €475,000 to €1.5 million
RTE’s adaptation of Marian Keyes' books, The Walsh Sisters, tells the tale of the lives of five sisters.
Set in Blackrock village, the subject matter is serious, but it has also made a feature of this chichi corner of coastal South County Dublin.
Looking cool and cinematic, it is almost a character in its own right.
Drone footage captures its seafront, Blackrock Dart station, the bars and cafes, and the vast crescent of Dublin Bay visible from Idrone Terrace.
While the main street of the village turns its back on the sea, it is a vibrant hub with everything from supermarkets to bouji boutiques and coffee shops where you can people-watch all day long.
Blackrock is part of the A94 Eircode, the most expensive area over the 12 months to July 2025, with a median price of €795,000, according to the Residential Property Price Index, published in July by the CSO.
Here are key addresses where you may be able to buy into the postcode and each of the girls’ lives:
