    There's a bar right beside Marlay park, it's called the Eden. Nice pub to drink in, big beer garden for the summer days and supposed to have good food from what I hear. There are some shops nearby on Grange Road but would I walk to them....no but I'm a lazy sod!!!

    This bus would be the one that you would get home http://www.dublinbus.ie/your_journey/viewer.asp?route=15N

    A taxi home would cost no more than €15 iirc, but I'm usually rather tipsy late at night in a taxi so not 100% on that ;)

    I don't know what sort of budget you're on but Moyville Estate or Boden Park estate would be a good option but in the lower to middle price range in Rathfarnham. Nice estates, shops around the corner, St. Endas park about 10 minutes walk, bus stop in 5 minutes walk. That nitelink bus I psted would drop you within 100m of the entrance to both estates.

    I have no idea what budget I'd have either. My house in London is in a rising market, and Dublin is currently coming down a little, maybe quite a bit in the next year or two. As it stands now I could swap for a decent house with similar monthly repayments, but we are hoping to buy a bit cheaper than we sell so we can manage on my husband's salary so when we have kids I can stay home with them. We could do that in the areas that you advised against, but I'd rather not tbh.

    It's actually weird to be looking for a house with a view to having a lifestyle that I don't actually live. When I bought my current house the ease of getting from Soho to bed at 3am was a fairly big factor. But when I move to Dublin I'll have to be thinking of kiddie stuff.:o My unconcieved kids will probably have more use for the night-bus than I ever will.:(
