Hi,

I am moving to Dublin by End of January 2020. My office will be in Dublin 4. I am moving with my family (My daughter who is 7 years old and my wife). I would like to know few of the details.
1- Area where I should stay for easy commute and good for family.
2- Schools which are good in those areas.
3- What will be the approximate house rent in those areas (I am looking for a 2 bed room apartment/ House).

Thanks,
Shubhranshu

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

To add to Phipiemar's advice and to answer your specific questions:

Easy commute - no such thing in Dublin (unless you live in walking distance to your office).
Schools - subjective; you should be aware that the majority of the schools are Catholic. That's not a bad thing (IMO) - these schools are pretty much all high performing, but if your own faith has issues, then you need to consider this.
Cost of living - check out the Numbeo website; link. Dublin is very expensive and rental accommodation in short supply.

Hope this helps.
