How safe is it to live in Watling Street, Dublin 8?

Grainnegrace

Myself and two other girls (all 25) are considering renting an apartment in Watling Street. We would be coming home at different hours alone. I would be really grateful of feedback on the area in terms of safety.

Watling Street? Ah, yes, Watling Street.
I once knew a girl who lived on Watling Street.
Long time ago, when I was a young man.
Not a day passes I don't think her and the promise that I made, which I will always keep.
That one perfect day on Watling Street.

For less poetry and more information I'd try posting in the accomodation or Dublin city forums

There's a A-bomb on Watling Street!










Sorry, I meant Wardour Street.

Tim Finnegan lived in Watling Street,
A gentle Irishman - mighty odd
He'd a beautiful brogue both rich and sweet,
And to rise in the world he carried a hod,
But Tim he'd sort of a tipplin way:
With love for the liquor he was born,
And to help him on with his work each day,
He'd a drop of the craythur every morn'

Whack fol-de-dah
Will ye dance to your partner,
Welt the floor,
Your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth, I told ye
lots of fun at Finnegan's wake

Serious answer OP, while I didn't live on Watling Street myself, my friend did and it's not really an area I'd be comfortable walking around at night on my own, and I'm a bloke. Your mileage may vary of course and all that.

It’s generally fine but can be quite deserted and isolated at night and is surrounded by a few area’s known for anti social behaviour. Maybe you could visit the place at different times and get a vibe for the place?
