    Hi All,

    I'm possibly relocating to Dublin for a new job in the next month or so.. The company is based in Dublin 2..

    Can anyone tell me what the main areas would be to rent an appt in and around D2 please. I'm looking for somewhere thats maybe about 10/15 mins either way...

    Thanks!

    Dublin 2 is basically the city centre so be prepared to pay high prices. Rathmines has a lot of rented accommodation, very studenty type area and not a million miles from town. Try daft.ie or the Evening Herald on a Thursday -although don't read the thing or your IQ may decrease and you will find that your job offer will be witdrawn.

    Depending where in Dublin 2 you are working, you might also be able to consider accommodation out the DART line (northside).

    Try to move before the student rush for accommodation starts.

    if the job is in Fitz st your best bet would be Rathgar Rathmines etc unless you consider renting around Fitz Square, which I did and nearly got sick looking at the basic accomodation with pre 60s kitchen ware for a way over the top price!!

    It's just not worth it!!

    Anywhere on the green Luas line should suit you too.

    Rathmines/Portobello or around Cork Street/Dublin 8 or around Baggot Street/ South Lotts Road (best area in town.......not being biased!!:) ) is a 15mins walk. Good luck with the move, Dublin is great so hope you enjoy. Don't bother with the Herald so try daft.ie instead and imo move into a shared apartment with another person if not familiar with the city rather than living on your own.
