I have recently been traveling around Dublin suburbs picking up tools from adverts. It has brought me deep into areas I would never normally go. It is pretty easy to spot a dodgy area as you approach it. If you see massive security barriers on shops and takeaways it is likely to be a place with high GBH. If there are a lot of vans parked in the area it will be rough and dirty.

Finglas has nice parts but overwhelmingly rough and run down. It is actually scary driving there. Was there on Sunday and there were 4 lads ridding sulkies down a main road. Rubbish just all over the streets and run down property. I don't see it ever becoming gentrified unlike other former council housing areas. Donnycarney has about another 15 years to turn but completely but well on the way to being rid of anti-social residents.

When I was a kid the lads in Clondalkin would rob motorbikes and use the chains they cut to blow power to entire estates(not going to go into how on the internet). That was 3 decades ago but the rep was deserved then.

This thread should be moved to crime Or something!

it’s not really accommodation or property.

I still wouldn't live in any of these areas and also expensive doesn't mean quality in Dublin at all.

You are way off there on Galsnevin and Phibsbourogh are great areas with Phibsbourgh winning a world wide review of areas in Time Out.

North Strand has changed so much and is getting more expensive everyday. There are currently plans to build 2 more apartment blocks there with another one under construction. Marino is also by Fairview park and highly desirable. East wall is still rough but changing rapidly.

Most properties in North Strand being sold goes to a well paid professional now. Lots of lawyer, doctors, high paid IT workers there. The old locals have mostly moved out. Reminants are renters mostly and they are getting priced out by rents and sales of property.

There are some nice places in Finglas and Cabra but overall they are rough. Cabra looks like it could gentrify but not Finglas. Coolock is going to get worse when they add all the rent only apartments

And this is precisely why this thread should be shut down. Some dreadful takes that can damage an area's reputation. Boards posts come up in Google searches.

No matter where you are in Dublin there are good parts and bad parts to any area. The bad guys don't s*it on their own doorsteps usually so the "good parts have their own issues.

No apology for talking through your hole?

You don't live in Dublin and have admitted that you haven't been here for some time. I live in Dublin and and frequently in several of the areas you've dismissed. Yet you think you have the right to disparage them without first hand recent experience??

You really don't know Dublin at all if you thought Glasnevin was dodgy 4 years ago or even 40 years ago. It was always very middle class and safe and still is.

Does this look like a ghetto to you?

This. I bought a house on the border of Inchicore/Lower Ballyfermot about 14 years ago. Ballyfermot was seen as a rough area years ago but it's being gentrified big time these days. I know someone who's bought a house in Jobstown too and is delighted with his decision, lovely neighbours all round him. That being said you do have to be careful. A lot of formerly rough areas are being gentrified but at someone mentioned above, there can be pockets of toerags is some areas. Lower and middle Ballyfermot are sound these days but Cherry Orchard is dog rough, a lot of social housing toerags end up there.
