About Glasnevin
Glasnevin is a well-established residential suburb on Dublin’s northside, just a few kilometres from the city centre and bordering Ballymun, Finglas, Drumcondra and Cabra. Known for its tree-lined roads and period red-brick homes, it has a settled, family-friendly feel balanced by the student presence around Dublin City University (DCU). The area is home to the National Botanic Gardens and Glasnevin Cemetery, two of Dublin’s most significant landmarks, giving it a distinctive historic and cultural character. Day-to-day life is convenient, with local shops, cafés and supermarkets such as Tesco Extra serving residents, alongside neighbourhood services and larger retail options towards Finglas. Schools like Lindsay Road National School and several nearby secondary options make it popular with families. Public transport is frequent, with multiple Dublin Bus routes running towards the city centre and surrounding suburbs, and good road access via Ballymun Road and Griffith Avenue. Overall, Glasnevin offers a blend of heritage, green space and easy access to both the city and DCU’s educational and sporting amenities.
