    Hi all,
    I am soon starting a new job in Ballsbridge, its my first time living in Dublin and I would like to know what areas should I be looking in for a house? I want something within walking distance if possible and not extremely expensive. Have been looking at houses in ballsbridge and they are definately not in my price range. Any help is appreciated!

    Well there are loads of buses that go through that area, but being realistic you'll probably have to move into the city to find more affordable accommodation. Are you open to sharing?

    Maximum amount roughly €150 per week, as I said I have never lived in Dublin before so am not sure on what an average house rent would be. What areas should I look in? thinking about Ranelagh but not sure?

    Unfortunately rents in Dublin are rather inflated, so that budget will require a share of some kind (unless you like living in tenements). There are decent house shares in nice areas so good luck with that.
