Where to look in Dublin

Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.

Where students live in Dublin

Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.

City centre and Dublin 2

Trinity's own ground, and where nearly all of Dublin's purpose-built student housing is. Often the only route into this market that works from abroad, and rarely the cheapest.

Drumcondra and Glasnevin

North of the Royal Canal around Dublin City University, with Croke Park between here and town. Quieter than the southside equivalents and generally a little less expensive.

Smithfield and Stoneybatter

The nearest streets to the Grangegorman campus, and the part of Dublin that has changed fastest in the last decade. Cobbles, small houses, and more cafes than the rent would suggest.

Portobello and Dublin 8

Along the Grand Canal south west of the centre, mixed, lively, and walkable to Trinity in twenty minutes. Guinness and the Liberties at one end, the canal locks at the other.

Donnybrook and Ballsbridge

The closest areas to University College Dublin at Belfield, and the most expensive on this list by a clear distance. Embassies, rugby, and very few shared houses.

Useful to know nearby

Places students in Dublin actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.

  • National Library of Ireland

    Public reading rooms on Kildare Street beside Trinity and the central university district.

  • Leap Card

    The stored-value travel card for Dublin Bus, Luas and DART. Student eligibility and products depend on age and study status.

  • Iveagh Gardens

    A quieter central park behind Harcourt Street, within walking distance of Portobello and the south-city campuses.

  • Moore Street

    A central street market and food-shopping area north of the Liffey, useful from city-centre student buildings.

A few Dublin buildings worth a look

What to know before choosing a room in Dublin

A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.

Dublin asks two questions at once. The first is which campus: Trinity is in the middle of the city, University College Dublin is at Belfield to the south east, Dublin City University is at Glasnevin to the north, and Technological University Dublin is at Grangegorman to the north west. The second question is harder. Dublin has the least slack of any rental market on this site, purpose-built student housing included, and arriving without something arranged is a genuinely difficult position to be in.

New to booking student accommodation?

    Getting around Dublin

    Dublin Bus does most of the work and the 39a and 46a to Belfield are the routes UCD students learn first. The Luas is two tram lines that do not naturally serve the universities, so check whether yours is any use to you before paying for a Leap card you will not swipe. The DART runs along the coast and is excellent if you end up living in Blackrock or Clontarf. Cycling is the fastest way across central Dublin and the canal routes are pleasant, though the city is less separated from traffic than Amsterdam or Copenhagen. A Leap card and the TFI Live app will between them cover almost everything.

    Frequently asked questions

    • 17 buildings in Dublin publish a starting price, from €225 to €381 a week, and half of them start under €305. Most of the difference is area and room type rather than one or two outliers. Each figure is the cheapest room in that building, so compare the room lists rather than the headline.
