Dublin - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Nice apartments or town homes for singles and couples or larger town homes or single family homes for families with kids. I have a 10-12 minute cycle to work which is easier in the summer when the kids are off school. Most singles have a 5-15 minute walk in whereas several single family homes are slightly further out. There is good public transportation (Dublin Bus, DART, LUAS) which should be taken advantage of. Traffic can be difficult during rush hours so walking, biking or public transportation is definitely best. - Jul 2016
We lived in a lovely part of town called Ballsbridge on the South side of the river. The American Embassy was a 2-minute walk from our apartment and we were a 15-minute walk from the city center. We loved living there. We have heard that U.S. Embassy families live in that same neighbourhood and if you're headed there with the Embassy, you will not be disappointed with the neighbourhood, although I can't speak for the actual houses themselves. - Jun 2014
