any suggestions? Can we compile a list of positives and negatives?
From past experiences -
Marino - very nice, very quiet but you get stones thrown at you when you cycle/get the bus home from town...not so nice.
Dolphins Barn - lots of old style community spirit, established community watch (of a kind/twitching curtains) run by the matriarchs of the area, but car still broken into 3 times, not much respect for animals/people/private property.
Rathgar - now that I look back it was pretty great for the price, but far from town and work. Seemed to rain alot that year.
Stoneybatter - nice village feel, Lilliput is great, but car vandalised constantly....anyone else have experience of Stoneybatter? What streets are the safest for car parking?
Drumcondra - felt like the heart of everything when I lived there, so close to town (but you have to walk down Dorset St = eggs thrown, aggression, bored chilren), seems to be seeing a bit of a rejuvenation (new delhis/cafes) but you have to put up with hoards of GAA fans every other Sunday in the Summer.
