    It's Ballymun. I know the apartments and they are not particularly nice tbh. A friend of mine lived in them. Area wise, you could certainly do worse. She might be better off looking around the like of clongriffin in Dub 13. Just as convenient if getting to the airport and better amenities. Not sure of the price difference, but can't imagine it would be much. It's a shame she didn't jump on the New Priory apartments.

    I lived there for 7 years OP.

    For me they served a purpose as they were cheap to rent (compared to the rest of Dublin) and so allowed me to have my own place?

    But for buying, tell her to stay well clear. It's not the worst area but also not so good either, certainly not where I'd want to sent a single woman I cared about.

    Hope that helps.
