    Hey guys!

    Moving to dublin at the end of this month, and would like to know what are the best areas and what places to avoid

    Like:calmness, good transportation, green
    Dislike: crime, noise, dense areas

    Thanks!

    Do you have a job or college commitments? Where are these. Any other preferences? How far out are you willing to live?

    thanks for the quick reply

    i would like to start of sharing flat with someone (300-500€), and maybe to have something on my own in the not-too-far future for 500-700€

    i will be studying in the ringsend area

    looking for a place not at the city center (too noisy) but not too far, so i can get to work and study with a bike, no need for bus/train

    Sandymount

    You'll get a grand double room for that budget in a houseshare

    Easy cycle or walk and it's a lovely area, pretty quiet

    thanks but sandymount seems a bit too expensive (500 or even 600 for shares) and not much offer (only 6 offers on daft.ie)

    For that price range you might be looking more at East Wall and coming over the bridge every day.

    these 2 options seem quite nice

    in any case, economics aside, do these areas fulfill my requirements as in noise, crime and greens?

    Had a quick look at daft, Ringsend and Irishtown are a bit pricier then I thought

    Good call above with East Wall, lots of decently priced rooms to rent on daft.ie
    Like:calmness, good transportation, green
    Dislike: crime, noise, dense areas

    Well you've the Dart and Luas not far.
    Up the road from East Wall is the promenade from Clontarf to Sutton, grand for you on your bike for a nice cycle or jog
    If you fancy a match after your study there are astro pitches in Irishtown stadium

    Crime? No worse then most other areas
    You don't drive so that's something, no car left out on the street at night
