Phibsborough Rent Prices in Dublin 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
With a median of €35/m², Phibsborough has officially lost its 'undervalued' status and moved squarely into THE_GRID. You're paying for the proximity to the city center and the Luas, but often for subdivided flats in drafty period buildings. Our neighborhood analysis suggests that unless you find a rare modern renovation, you’re paying a premium for the D7 postcode rather than actual square footage quality.
The Vibe:It's a dense junction of red-brick Victorian terraces and brutalist concrete, dominated by the hulking grey frame of the Phibsboro Shopping Centre. The crowd is a mix of Mater Hospital staff, TU Dublin students, and commuters huddled at the Phibsborough Green Line Luas stop. It’s functional, grey, and perpetually loud with the drone of North Circular Road traffic.
The median rent price in Phibsborough, Dublin is €35 per m² per month, 15% below the Dublin city average of €41.25/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of January 2026.

Locals Ask
What are the m² stats for a typical studio here?
Expect to pay on the higher end of the €44.5/m² range for studios, as supply is tight and demand from hospital staff is relentless.
How is the parking situation on the North Circular Road?
It is a nightmare; most houses lack off-street options and the narrow side streets are strictly permit-only or pay-and-display.
Is the investment outlook positive for Phibsborough?
Yes, because the Luas and the redevelopment of the shopping centre keep demand high, but the high entry prices limit your immediate yield.
Are the older houses cold in the winter?
Unless the landlord has invested in a massive retrofit, these Victorian rentals are notorious for poor BER ratings and high heating costs.
Is it within walking distance of O'Connell Street?
Easily; you can walk to the spire in about 20 minutes, making the average rent price justifiable for those working in the city center.
