    Hi there,

    Looking at possibly renting a house on Tolka Road. It is listed as Fairview, but it's Ballybough afaik. Anyone know the area? I am living in Fairview currently, off Philipsburgh Av, and really like it. My concern would be that Tolka Road area could be a bit more exposed to crime etc, given it's proximity to the flats at Popular Row and also Summerhill.

    Any views?

    Cheers

    Ive friends living there the last few years and theyve never had any problems. I regularly leave their house very late and walk to Dorset street with out any hassle or even seeing many other people. Theres also a great sense of community , neighbours looking out for each etc

    It's grand. Lived in the apartments off it on Distillery Road and walked through it to go to work. Never had any trouble walking home from town and was quiet enough day and night. Only thing I wouldn't leave a bike out as mine got robbed from the bike shed by a gang of kids. Only thing that happened in 2 years living there. Can be a bit annoying match days with access in and out but good buzz about the place on those days.
