List of non-safe neighborhoods in Dublin

No and wouldn't really be reflective, like most burglaries would be in well off areas as they have better stuff to steal ?

If you have an estate or a road that you're looking at with a view to purchasing, if you enter the address into Google and charged or courts, you'll get a list of people from that road or area who have been before the courts and what they were charged with.

Obviously the less you find the better. Every estate has one or two mentions, but if you get numerous hits then you can draw your own conclusions.

Very few areas in dublin I would consider unsafe, maybe a very small fraction of Finglas and the back arse of Darndale are the only places I would consider relatively unsafe that I know of anyway.

There's not much breaking and entering in areas where there are lots of assaults. The people from the bad places usually travel to the good places as they will get more for less risk.

Do you think that thieves aren't scouting out posh areas? You don't need to live in a bad area to suffer from anti social behaviour.

West Dublin, North Dublin City & City Centre probably covers half the bad areas 😂…better question- where are the safe areas

You might say working class areas, I think you can judge by price too, houses in middle class areas are much more expensive , you can look at a area on Google Street View, empty boarded up houses is a bad sign, lots of litter abandoned cars is a bad sign, lots of graffiti on walls is not good. Are look ar area X, adress, Ed Street name, crime on Google.ie

Fair city in recent times

Litter and graffiti are all you need to evaluate an area OP, if the locals dont respect their own neighbourhood, they sure as hell wont respect you.

Burglars go where the money is middle class areas where people have 1000euro laptops iPhone 12 etc. I know an estate in finglas council estate it's quiet, I visit my friend there. all the houses are owned by the people who lived there as tenants or recent buyers, after 2000 dublin City Council sold off 95 per cent of the council houses to any tenant who wanted to buy one who could afford it dublin is a very diverse city its not realistic to say stay out of area X. One sign if you see 1 or cars in every driveway you are probably in a safe area. If you see a 2 bedroom house going for 150k you have to ask why is this house so cheap?

There must be a reason. Also drive by at 9pm is there groups of teens hanging around drinking not a good sign rubbish bags old furniture dumped windows boarded up empty houses is not a sign of a good area

The only 100 percent council areas are apartment blocks which the council will not sell off

It used to be against the charter on here to make sweeping generalisations about areas, and with good reason too. Every "good" area has bad apples locally and imports them, and is very attractive to criminals. Every "bad area" has trouble of some sort but also some salt of the earth people.

So asking a question like this online is a waste of time. Visit the areas at different times of the day and night, ask local shopkeepers/Gardai, Google the area and "court" or "charged". All of these will be much more informative than sweeping generalisations like have been made by some posters here.

I worked for a charity and used to bring gifts to peoples houses before Christmas as one of the more rewarding, but risky parts of the job. I have seen this go on in a few of these places. The kind of places where it took 4 up us to do the deliveries. 2 to stay in the van with the engine running and 2 to deliver the boxes to the houses.

The places ive seen similar scenes to the above video, some even with flames coming out of cars still being driven are. Cherry Orchard, Darndale, Finglas, The liberties and Coolock. Now ive been to a quiet a few bad areas but those ones were right out of GTA :) But whats funny is when you go into the houses and are speaking to the residents with the carnage going on outside, they dont even notice it. Its just normal to them. They think the place is lovely and peaceful.

Apologies. You are correct. Though nearby Loughlinstown park is a total kip, my mention of Cherrywood was an auto correct brain fart. Meant to say Cherry Orchard.

Cherry Orchard would be grand if it wasn’t for the prison, halting site, metadone clinic, silver granite pub and proximity to Ballyfermot…

other than that grand.

note that there are no cherry’s left in the orchard either

the exact same logic works almost identically from Marino to Howth and around to Malahide.

As most posters on the thread have agreed, Marino is now a kip... SWIDT

would anyone have advice on places to avoid in bawnogue?looking at houses to buy and seems pretty quiet and safe...looking at melrose,lindisfarne part ect...

I have recently been traveling around Dublin suburbs picking up tools from adverts. It has brought me deep into areas I would never normally go. It is pretty easy to spot a dodgy area as you approach it. If you see massive security barriers on shops and takeaways it is likely to be a place with high GBH. If there are a lot of vans parked in the area it will be rough and dirty.

Finglas has nice parts but overwhelmingly rough and run down. It is actually scary driving there. Was there on Sunday and there were 4 lads ridding sulkies down a main road. Rubbish just all over the streets and run down property. I don't see it ever becoming gentrified unlike other former council housing areas. Donnycarney has about another 15 years to turn but completely but well on the way to being rid of anti-social residents.

When I was a kid the lads in Clondalkin would rob motorbikes and use the chains they cut to blow power to entire estates(not going to go into how on the internet). That was 3 decades ago but the rep was deserved then.

This thread should be moved to crime Or something!

it’s not really accommodation or property.

I still wouldn't live in any of these areas and also expensive doesn't mean quality in Dublin at all.

You are way off there on Galsnevin and Phibsbourogh are great areas with Phibsbourgh winning a world wide review of areas in Time Out.

North Strand has changed so much and is getting more expensive everyday. There are currently plans to build 2 more apartment blocks there with another one under construction. Marino is also by Fairview park and highly desirable. East wall is still rough but changing rapidly.

Most properties in North Strand being sold goes to a well paid professional now. Lots of lawyer, doctors, high paid IT workers there. The old locals have mostly moved out. Reminants are renters mostly and they are getting priced out by rents and sales of property.

There are some nice places in Finglas and Cabra but overall they are rough. Cabra looks like it could gentrify but not Finglas. Coolock is going to get worse when they add all the rent only apartments
