Half the people I know who work in the airport live in Swords.
For those who suggested Dundalk, is it safe now?
It used to have a nickname of a Mexican border town when I used to be familar with it.

Haha, you are joking right, Dundalk has one off the lowest crime rates of big towns/cities in the country,even back in the day, it got it's nick name(s) because of being so close to the 'border'

Malahide is a nice area and close to the airport but it is also expensive.

St Margarets and Hollystown would be near enough too,no public transport but cheaper.

Drogheda and Dundalk two great towns, 30min's to 45min's(consecutively) by motorway to Airport door. Good Luck.

If we're giving silly answers, I'd have to mention Glasgow and Manchester. Both less than 40 minutes from Dublin airport. Of course, there are better restaurants in Paris, and the nightlife is better in Berlin, but the flights are a little longer.

Droghedismal and Dundull?

Seriously?

Personally I would have Malahide as first preference and Skerries as second preference if you want to stay in Fingal but there are loads of nice places to live if you're willing to drive around to the South side via the M50 motorway.

Swords is the nearest to the airport. It has many primary and second level schools, also an excellent shopping centre in the
Pavilions, which has a 'Movies' cinema. Buses to the airport
and regular buses to Dublin city. Swords Express also runs
to the city regularly.

Hi guys just seen this
It's myself and partner
Would like to be close enough to airport with option of going into dublin but not living in it..
Easy commute to airport
By safe I mean low crime rate and not rough..
Malahide has to be a front runner but seems awkward
Obvisly the place wi have local amenities
No kids and budget of about 950 per month..

Santry would be a good bet so.

I know quite a few people who worked in Dublin Airport and rented in places like Northwood but also in Santry and Drumcondra.

I would strongly recommend Dublin 9 and Dublin 3. Lots of leafy suburban areas with quite decent houses (not that many apartments available but what is there is pretty good).

Anywhere within walking distance of the Drumcondra Road (N1) is really, really handy for the airport.

Kilester and Raheny aren't bad options either.

I would recommend Northwood also. Plenty of decent apartments between €900-1,200 a month rental.
There's a also a frequent bus route (16,41 etc) to the airport, the bus journey would take 10 minutes to the airport so a low-stress commute. Those buses also run into the city centre which is 30/40 minute journey so handy for getting into town also. Lots of airport staff and 'young professionals' rent in Northwood so I think it would tick a lot of boxes considering your circumstances.

Lovely park nearby, gym up the road, coffee shop, hotel, local shops all within the development. Leafy and quiet.

Personally I prefer the Santry end close to the Crowne Plaza hotel rather than the commercial end (Gullivers Retail Park etc) and that would be a shorter walk to the bus stop also. Santry itself is not particularly characterful or beautiful but it's a safe and convenient suburb with lots of amenities, well-situated and with a well established community.

Also, I think many of the airlines run shuttle busses from the Crowne Plaza as they overnight staff there so, you might be able to hitch a lift
There are also regular shuttles from the Crowne Plaza to the airport for other guests so you can possibly just purchase a ticket and get to the airport quite quickly.
