How to Find Housing
Getting settled in a new city can sometimes seem overwhelming…but we’ve got you covered with all the ways you could finding housing in Dublin – from renting, to room sharing, to purchasing a home. And we’ve included information you’ll need for securing your utilities as well (and we know you can’t live without internet, so we’ve added that in too!)
1. What areas should I look into?
Dublin is divided by Postal Districts. You can quickly navigate your way by remembering odd numbers are the North Side of the River Liffey and even numbers are on the South Side of the Liffey. Luckily for us, TTEC has two locations – one each side of the river! Both locations are really well connected via public transport links. Check out the Postal Districts on the Map below.

When choosing where to live, there are a few factors we all need to consider. Price and location are always important. To help with the location and more information on each of the residential areas around Dublin, we’ve put together a list below based on the value for your pocket, and the distance from our NorthSide and SouthSide locations.
