Safest areas in Dublin. (1 Viewer)

[JohnMc]

Hi. I am looking into moving to Dublin next year. I was looking into to attending DCU (though I might move up ahead of time to do a course through FAS to increase my chances of being accepted) I was mostly looking at Drumcondra, Glasnevin and Santry. How safe are this areas? I would like to take the odd walk or jog at night? How is the Public Transportation in those areas?I won't be bringing my car with me so I'll need a good bus and/or train service.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Drumcondra and Glasnevin are probably okay.

The later it gets the more emboldened the headers are the more likely they are to be locked.

Down around Mobhi Road and that you should be grand.

Dublin is a crime infested shithole & should be avoided like the plague.

Just don't go out at night, during the weekends, weekdays during the evening and during the day and you'll be aaaalright

Of the ones you named I'd suggest Glasnevin. There are lovely quiet suburban streets galore there but it's close to DCU and a nice walk into town. I lived in Santry for a while, it was grand. The village though is just dead at night other than a couple of Chinese takeaways. From Glasnevin, Phibsboro is a short walk and there's restaurants, pubs, etc. there, always something going on.

From Glasnevin plenty of buses go out towards DCU and into town.

I went to DCU. Its grand. Just don't go jogging in Hampstead Park at night. The nacker drinkers beat the shite out of students for a bit of sport.

go live in Santry. If you move to Glasnevin you'll end up with neighbours who'll call the cops every time you wipe your hole the wrong way. They've lower standards in Santry so you should be able to have parties and wreck the gaff and the neighbours won't mind. In fact they'll probably drop in and help you wreck the gaff.

In short though, everywhere around there is decent. Except Ballymun, obviously.

you have to be careful, lots of areas call themselves glasnevin which are actually ballymun and finglas. parts of santry are dog rough also. best bet is anywhere between collins ave and home farm rd - litterally 100's of gaffs to rent in that neck of the woods. good bus service too.

Oh yeah avoid Glasnevin Wood, and Glasnevin Avenue.

Actually just get a gaff beside the Gravedigger's.

haha - nearly ended up living in de coursey square at one stage, I'd say I'd have worn a dent in the bar at the 'digger if i'dve been that close!

Avoid phibsboro too,its an awful shit hole.

Safe? What age are you dude - 90? If you're starting college next year the last thing you should be worrying about is "safe". All of the places mentioned above are fine, so long as you don't stumble around dead drunk at nighttime, and just avoid trouble

(what's the age gap have to be before I can legitimately call someone "kid" or "son", do ye reckon?)

phibsboro is grand
