Overview and Location
This property is a room within a seven-bedroom apartment located at 41 Ballinteer Crescent, Ballinteer, Dublin 16. The address is in a suburban residential area south of Dublin city centre, approximately 8 to 10 kilometres from Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, and Dublin City University. The apartment includes a living area and offers parking. The monthly rent for a room is quoted between €700 and €850, with a deposit of €250.
Because the property is a shared apartment with seven bedrooms, tenants share common spaces such as the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. The exact number of bathrooms is not specified in the available data. The unit types listed are “shared_room” and “independent_house” – this likely reflects that the property itself is a house converted into a shared apartment, or that different room configurations exist within the same listing. Prospective tenants should confirm the exact room and bathroom arrangement with the operator.
Who This Residence Suits
This residence is suitable for students or young professionals who prefer a larger shared living environment. A seven-bedroom apartment typically means a higher number of housemates, which can foster a social atmosphere if residents are compatible. Those who enjoy having company and do not mind navigating shared schedules for kitchens and bathrooms may find this arrangement practical.
The location in Ballinteer is relatively quiet and residential, making it appropriate for someone who wants to live outside the busy city centre while still having bus routes into Dublin. The presence of a parking space is a bonus for tenants who own a car, which is less common in central Dublin.
The price range €700–€850 per month is moderate for Dublin’s private rental market (indicative – confirm with the operator). Dublin’s city-wide “from price” for student housing on this platform is listed at €219 per month, but that figure likely reflects the cheapest room in a larger development or a different property type (e.g., a lower-cost shared room in a multi-unit complex). At €700–€850, this apartment sits above that entry-level figure but is not at the high end for a room in a shared house in Dublin 16. It may suit someone whose budget is around €750–€800 and who values a suburban setting.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
This property is not ideal for those who require privacy or a very quiet study environment. A seven-bedroom shared apartment tends to have more noise and common-area traffic than a smaller house share or a studio. Light sleepers or people who need absolute silence for remote work or exam preparation may find the arrangement challenging.
Tenants who prefer a short commute to city-centre universities should also consider other options. Ballinteer is served by Dublin Bus, but journey times to Trinity College or Dublin City University can be 40–50 minutes depending on traffic. If you need to reach campus frequently and quickly, a property closer to the city centre would be more convenient.
Additionally, the deposit of €250 is relatively low for Dublin (often one month’s rent is standard). While this may seem attractive, it could indicate a less formal tenancy arrangement. Always confirm deposit terms and refund conditions with the operator.
Residents who want a fully managed, purpose-built student accommodation with on-site amenities such as study rooms, gyms, or common lounges will not find those here. This is a standard private house share, not a specialised student hall.
What Residents Say
One verified resident review is available for this property. The resident, who stayed in the apartment, gave a rating of 4.0 out of 5 and wrote:
“the whole experience felt quite balanced overall”
This neutral-to-positive comment suggests that the resident did not have strong complaints but also did not highlight any exceptional features. “Balanced” implies that the property met expectations without major issues. With only one review, it is difficult to generalise, but it indicates that at least one tenant had a satisfactory experience.
No additional reviews or ratings from other platforms (e.g., Google) are recorded, so prospective tenants should ask the operator for more feedback or try to speak with current or previous residents.
Price Positioning and Value
Dublin’s city-wide “from price” on this platform is €219 per month (indicative – confirm with the operator). That figure is likely the lowest available room in a large development (e.g., a shared room in a multi-story complex). The property at 41 Ballinteer Crescent starts at €700 per month, which is more than three times that base rate. However, the €219 figure likely represents a very basic room or a promotional rate, not a typical mid-range option.
For Dublin, a private room in a shared apartment in a suburban area like Ballinteer commonly rents for €600–€900 per month as of 2026/2027 (indicative – confirm with the operator). At €700–€850, this property sits in the middle of that band. The deposit of €250 is notably low – a typical deposit in Ireland is one month’s rent (€700–€850), so a €250 deposit is unusual and should be clarified with the operator to ensure it is not a partial payment or an error.
Compared to the 50 student listings in Dublin on this platform, this property is not the cheapest but is also not the most expensive. It offers parking and a living area, which add value for those who drive or want social space.
Room Type Guidance
The property is listed under two unit types: “shared_room” and “independent_house.” This likely means that some rooms are configured as true shared bedrooms (two people per room) while others are single rooms within a larger house that functions as an independent dwelling. However, the property name specifically says “Room in a 7 Bedroom Apartment” – so it is a house or apartment with seven separate bedrooms. The “independent_house” tag may refer to the building type (a house) rather than a self-contained unit.
Tenants should clarify with the operator whether the €700–€850 price is for a single-occupancy room or a shared room. If it is a shared room, the price per person could be lower than the stated range. The deposit amount does not change per person.
If you are looking for a private room in a large share house, this property fits that description. If you want a true self-contained apartment or a studio, look elsewhere.
Booking Timing Considerations
The data indicates the property is tagged “not_available.” This could mean that rooms are currently full or that the listing is inactive. Given that the review date and price data are from earlier periods (the review source is “amber” with no timestamp), availability may have changed. For the 2026/2027 academic year, you should contact the operator directly to ask if rooms will be open for booking and when.
In Dublin, many student rentals are advertised from early spring for the following September. If you are targeting a September 2026 move-in, begin searching in February–April 2026. For January 2027 intake, look from October 2026. The limited reviews and “not_available” status suggest that this property may not be actively marketed, but it could become available if tenants leave. Use the on-site assistant on this platform to check if there is any current availability.
