Ballybough
Dublin 3 / 93 properties
Wedged between Croke Park and the Royal Canal, Ballybough's red-brick terraces date from its development as a working-class quarter in the nineteenth century. The area's industrial past — pottery, glass, distilling, brewing — has given way to residential living, though the strong community identity endures. First settled by three MacDonnell brothers fleeing the Ulster Plantations in 1605, it carries more layers of Dublin history than its modest streetscape might suggest.
Ballybough contains homes with addresses ending in both Dublin 1 and Dublin 3 .
