Dublin 5 Edenmore

I am not familiar with all the roads in Edenmore, all I can say I am sure there are pockets where may be rough but there are plenty of good people living there and area has improved in recent years. I am open for correction though.

Dublin 5 as a general area is excellent, close to everything, including city centre and the coast.

Also grew up close to it. It was fairly lively back in the 80s and 90s even but at this stage the area is over 50 years old. A lot of stuff has come and gone.

Id recommend closer to the Raheny end of the Springdale road and avoid closer to the Edenmore shopping center although this is probably reflected in the prices. I’d also prefer to be on one of the roads rather than the smaller cul-de-sacs. I find it’s a bit more intense in some of those. One exception would be Edenmore crescent which is a nice layout and position. But overall it’s a grand place these days. The age and condition of the houses would be a concern.

They would be.

Donaghmede celebrated 50 years last year. That was the northern edge of D5 when it was built, and Edenmore would have been there before it.

Technically Edenmore is part of Raheny. It certainly had a bad reputation before but is quieter now. The thing is it is still pretty rough and neglected by many that still live there. The roads and many houses are not very well kept. Lots of the old corporation houses with original features in a worn state. Lots of businesses and trades people about so if stuff falls off their vehicles it is just left on the road. Lots of large vans and vehicles parked about about

I have friends and family that live there and they are lovely people but the area is going to take another few decades before it is truly gentrified
