Temple BarRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Final Boss"
At a median of €44.2/m², this area is the FINAL_BOSS level of Dublin's rental market where your bank account goes to die. The investment outlook remains high only because there's a never-ending supply of transient renters willing to overpay for the D2 postcode. Unless you're a glutton for punishment or have a massive corporate housing allowance, the price-to-peace ratio is difficult to justify.
The Vibe:It's a high-octane gauntlet of cobblestones, stag parties, and the constant hum of the 27 and 151 bus lines along the Quays. Living here means trading any hope of quiet for being within stumbling distance of every D2 pub. You don't move here for a backyard; you move here to be at the center of the noise.

Locals Ask
How noisy is it actually at night?
It is deafening until 3 AM most nights; if you aren't using industrial-grade earplugs, you aren't sleeping.
What is the Average Rent for a small studio?
Expect to pay toward the top of the €61.5/m² range for anything that isn't a literal closet.
Is there any chance of finding parking?
Almost zero; unless you're shelling out for a private basement spot, you'll be on a first-name basis with the local clampers.
What does the neighborhood analysis say about safety?
It's generally safe but expect to deal with aggressive crowds and public intoxication every single night of the week.
Where do residents do a proper weekly shop?
The local express shops are overpriced; most savvy residents walk up to the Dunnes Stores in Stephen's Green for a real grocery run.
