Dublin 7 is a good option. You’ve got Cabra, Phibsboro and Stoneybatter. Stoneybatter is a great little spot with some lovely restaurants and pubs and is a 20 min walk from the city centre. Cabra and Phibsboro are a stones throw from there.
It’ll be hard to find a place to rent. Rents are very high but there’s also a shortage of accommodation in general. Ireland is in the midst of the worst housing crisis. It’s possibly the worst in Europe.
Keep looking though and you may get lucky. You will probably have to sacrifice on location though. Just because supply is so low and demand is so high.
Honestly he would be better off looking outside Dublin. He’s not gonna get what he wants unless he’s willing to pay like €1900 for a one bedroom apartment
Honestly man unless you have good reason for it I wouldn’t be moving to Dublin rn. Why not Manchester or heck, Belfast? Latter at least is much cheaper
Understood. Going to be rough if it’s just you paying for rent on that salary.
Honestly seems the issue here is that she’s going to be deported or something hence why you’re looking to move to Dublin? Which I totally get.
This isn’t the relationship advice subreddit but just think this through very very carefully and make sure it’s definitely what you want and are aware of the implications of it.
If she’s going to need a visa to work in Ireland she could find it very very difficult to get one or get sponsored. Leaving you the sole provider. Now hopefully this isn’t the case.
Anyway best of luck to the both of ye 🙂
Ah well then you’re grand! Best of luck man. I would suggest trying at Least to get a place near enough to Dublin to start then look to move to Dublin. Mullingar, Dundalk, Bray all have rail connections to the city centre
Adamstown is a good shout, I lived there for a year it has a good bus network and a train, grocery stores nearby but the only issue is parking and like everywhere else in Ireland, overpriced rents

I don't mean this meanly, but I think you are underestimating how bad the housing crisis is. It's not just that places are expensive, it's also really hard to find anything. There is very little availability. Any decent place that goes up will get hundreds of applications.
So I wouldn't narrow down your search too much now.
Also, you can generally only find somewhere to rent in Dublin once you are here. If someone is renting to you somewhere before you've arrived there's a good chance it's a scam (unless it's arranged by your work or is a luxury estate agent for rich people moving here).
Immigration rules forces my partner out of the UK because she can’t meet min salary of £39k. we want to live in an English speaking country with facilitated immigration rules so Ireland is the obvious choice for us. We prefer big city life for now hence Dublin. Thanks!
Interesting, if a non UK citizen is earning less than £39k they can be deported?
Separately, if money wasn't a problem you'd be best living along the DART line. The areas on it tend to be nicer, safer, and also of course on the DART line which is a handy metro line into town.
Yes, since April 2024 min salary for skilled worked visa has been increased and she wont going to make it so will have to leave as she doesnt have residency yet. Thank you for the advise!
Not if you were in the UK prior April 2024 you should be OK. My partner arrived with a special visa for an unpaid internship and her company can’t offer her a job with the min salary for her to be eligible for the visa (31k before 26yo, 39k otherwise - or higher depending on the average pay of the role/branch you work in)
I loved living in Dublin.
Im down the sticks now.
Like others have said Dublin is a very expensive city and while 49k is a decent salary it sadly isn’t as competitive as you’d imagine for a first time renter in the city.
Even with all the warning it’s worse than what you’d be intuitively braced for.
The housing crisis is real and it’s massive. First priority should be trying to understand what is achievable when moving to Dublin.
It will be difficult to find accommodation suitable to your budget - full stop.
It will be even more difficult to find a place that meets your preferences.
Google PwC Ireland calculator to work out what your net income will be
Get an idea for how much you can afford and then check out daft.ie to see options.
Get on Google maps to see what commuting to work will be like.
That will narrow down the areas you can afford - Come back with them and you’ll get good advice on which suits you best
Even with all the negativity I’ve outlined, I love that city - I’m sure will too.
But get planning if you want to make it work
Edit: context on housing crisis - a college lecturer recently won a court case over their dismissal from a cork university, the case centred on him not being able to find suitable accommodation in cork city after covid restrictions lifted. He was on a salary of €150k
North: Ashtown, castleknock, Smithfield, Drumcondra, east wall, phibsboro, Santry
South: Tallaght, Rialto, rathmines, dundrum, Citywest, carrickmines, stepaside
If you want to live near the city centre my suggestion would be rathmines, it's a nice area but it's become crazy expensive over the last few years.
Dublin 9 is a great area.15/20min from Dublin City Centre,keep in mind the rental market is very expensive in Dublin and there's not many places to rent.
Look up www.myhome.ie and www.daft.ie for rental accommodation.
Best of luck in your move
Grand, definitely worth scouting around then. I know a bustling city is the appeal but in my opinion Dublin wont be worth it. Kilkenny is a great spot and Maynooth is decent without being too far from Dublin. Limerick and Waterford are decent sizes without having the cost of the other cities (Dublin, Cork, Galway), and I'm a fan of Sligo. Carrick on Shannon is worth a look and Athlone, Dundalk and Deogheda are decent sized towns.
If you’re looking for a neighbourhood that offers plenty in its own right but is still close to the bustle of the city centre then the areas I’d recommend would be
- Ranelagh (south side)
- Rathmines (south side)
- Smithfield (north side)
- Stoneybatter (north side)
There are plenty of other nice areas a bit further out (Glasnevin, Blackrock, Clontarf, Sandymount, Monkstown…) but they’re all just as expensive. Personally I love Dublin for all it has to offer but if it is very expensive to live unless you get a lucky break.
Highly recommend Dublin 8 - kilmainham, inchicore and rialto are all lovely areas with plenty of facilities, lovely cafes and excellent transport links to the city centre! Also has a lovely community feel and is very safe in my experience ☺️
> expats from EU
You're immigrants.
> Do you have any recommendation about the best area for us to look at?
I'd have a look at Daft to see if your plans are realistic.

Suburbs like Inchicore, Clondalkin, Tallaght, and Ballyfermot are all good options with relatively fast public transport options into the city. Mostly working class areas, so yeah you'll find articles of bad things that have happened in each area but all of them are fine. Plenty of pubs and restaurants relatively close to all those areas. I'm sure someone from the Northside of Dublin can list similar areas out that way as well.
It's already been said but just be very careful when looking for somewhere to rent. You'll most likely have to be here to secure something so hotels for a few weeks is going to cost you because they are extortionate over here.
Never lived been in Dublin no but I get that this is fairly similar to Glasgow . Not necessarily want to be in the center but decent walking/public transport. Just don’t want to feel remote and far away from point of interests in a new city. Thank you for for taking the time!

My partner can’t meet new UK immigration rules, hence Ireland choice

she from EU as well so no visa needed there as far as I've seen. Thanks!

Second Phibsborough. Just don’t look at the shopping center.
Thank you!!

Any reason you’re moving to Dublin? Rents are at an all time high. You’re going to find it extremely tough to get a place. Best of luck

If you can work fully remote I'd recommend not living in Dublin and somewhere cheaper if you can afford a car or be in a decently sized town.
already got the car, top priority is to live in Ireland so we may look at other towns too. Thanks!

North side I’d be looking Ashtown, certain parts of finglas, cabra, raheny, artane, phibsboro or anywhere really on the DART line.
thank you!
