Rooms to Rent in Drumcondra, Dublin 9

Drumcondra is a residential inner suburb on Dublin's Northside, with the River Tolka and the Royal Canal both running through it. Its Irish name, Droim Conrach, means Conra's ridge. The area is best known as the home of Croke Park, the headquarters of the GAA and one of the largest stadiums in Europe. The All-Ireland football and hurling finals are played there each year, and Tolka Park on Richmond Road, home of Shelbourne FC, keeps League of Ireland football in the area too.

Drumcondra is also a student area. Dublin City University has two campuses here, St Patrick's Campus and All Hallows, and DCU's main campus in Glasnevin is a short trip north. Drumcondra Road has pubs, cafés and shops, and the side streets mix red-brick terraces with houses built in the 1920s and 1930s.
