After that I don't know.

Awesome.. Great place to grow up and live.

Gotta say can't beat a nice day in Malahide castle , then a walk into the village for a pint and a yap.
It's a great little town when the sun is out,

So as the antidote to the usual "Dublin's a kip" stuff, what area in our capital did or do you like?

Lived in Harold's Cross for a while in the 90s. Very nice area, always felt safe around there, walking distance to city centre and on the nitelink. Was near the canal end of it, around the corner from the Irish House - though can't say I was a regular, think they had an off licence out front. Sundays in Quinns. And a walk around Cathal Brugha Barracks to get to Rathmines for the shopping in the Swan Centre.

Passed through it recently and was a bit disappointed to see how much of it had changed.

No most of us haven't. Take it to the Dublin city thread.

So good that you gotta say it twice?

To express my opinion that regional posts like this don't belong on AH.

Spanish Eyes

Dart to Killiney Station, walk back up the Vico Road, down Coliemore Road, into Dalkey, lunch at the Queens. DART home.

Absolutely fabulous. The views are stunning, and as for the gaffs out along those roads, well, they are stunning also.

Enjoy.

Whilst the OP might have been wrong in saying that most people live or have lived in Dublin I think it's fair to say that most people in Ireland have been in Dublin.

With the Rents you have to pay in Dublin you would want to be mad to live there . so for that reason none of Dublin.

Most ridiculous thing I've read all day(so far). Large swathes of the Midlands have rock bottom rents,but f*ck all else going for them. Would you rather live there?

Smoking area of Fibbers.

Just Listening and Reading what Tenants are paying for a shoe boxes with Skyrocketing rents in Dublin no Thanks .

Pure tashte

My favourite place to live was the Smithfield/Stoneybatter area; right beside town, lively enough, an abundance of great pubs, good cinema, and relatively cheap for the location (well, it was at the time anyway).

Sth. William Street and that general is probably one of nicer places to go for a stroll, get a coffee or a pint and lunch.

Hard to beat Kiliney on a sunny day.

Well in fairness,most of the posts open with lines like 'if I won the lottery' or 'if money were no object' etc... It's beyond the realm of most to live up on the Hill of Howth,but we can all dream no?

The thread is not even about living in Dublin. It's about your favourite area of Dublin.

Your posts are so irrelevant sometimes it's scary.

You need to read the thread title, or maybe start a new one like "reasons I don't want to live in Dublin"

Furry Glen, perhaps. Or out as far into Wicklow as you can get before you're in Wicklow

Yeah, I love Blessington. Technically Wicklow but it's like a hop from Dublin.

It's your "favourite area in Dublin". Not "what area can you afford to rent in and would you like it".

I know some people find it difficult, but try and think laterally and creatively like some people have on this thread, naming pubs, smoking areas, streets etc.. and join in.
