Stoneybatter is less than a 30-minute walk into Dublin’s city centre – but with so many amenities on your doorstep, there’s hardly a need to venture that far. For a neighbourhood dating back over a hundred years, it’s incredibly modern. Independent coffee shops hide behind every corner, while the main thoroughfare is dotted with bars, pharmacies, hairdressers, greengrocers, butchers and bakeries.

There are plenty of facilities for young families too, with various creches and schools along Manor Street alone. With its gates just a six-minute drive away, Phoenix Park could be described as your back garden, while the Lighthouse Cinema can be reached with a five-minute stroll.

As for public transport, Dublin Bus routes 37, 39, 39A, and 70 stop right outside your door. Plus, being so close to town, taxis are readily available. Has your interest peaked? Have a look at these three available properties now:
