This area surrounding Harold’s Cross is full of charm and has a great sense of what a real community is all about. There are many small family-run businesses that just make this area special.
It is only a stone throws away from the city centre and hip Portobello square, and all the buzzing parts of town so one of the best locations in Dublin. It boasts a friendly mix of older residents, young families and professionals.
The area is serviced by many bus routes, Luas stops at Rialto and Bleeper bikes so getting around is really easy. If you don’t own a car, you can hire one at Hertz on South Circular Road that’s located just beside the local mosque. Given the perfect location, you won’t even need one!
