Im looking to rent an apartment somewhere in Dublin, other options is considered are a house/apartment share but that would ideally have to be with someone i know. I've been trawling daft.ie for the last week or so trying to figure out a good area to move in to . thoughts at the moment are around Dublin 16,18 and 24, somewhere that is handy enough to get to work within 30 mins(Grangecastle) city center is fairly easy to access, near luas possibly have secure off street parking for car.
So area's that spring to mind are Dundrum, Sandyford, Rathfarnham,Knocklyon, Tallaght, seems like the going rate for renting 1 bed is around 750-900 and 1200-1300 for 2 bed. House shares between 500-700. Lots of factors to decide on about what best suits my needs etc, i never rented before so this game is new to me! I dont need to be too close to city center as that will makle journeys to work longer, but it would be convenient to be near one of the LUAS lines(walking distance) Also hopefully any place i rent isn't too restrictive if i ever need to move out etc if circumstances change(might loose deposit etc)
Any crappy tried and tested rental areas that i should avoid, Im currently only considering south city and co. as most friends and family are that side. Any things to look our for when renting and if you had the choice what option would you go for?
