About Mountjoy Square
Mountjoy Square is a historic Georgian square and inner-city neighbourhood on Dublin’s northside, within easy reach of Parnell Square, O’Connell Street, Broadstone and the IFSC. Its grand period terraces sit alongside offices, apartments, student accommodation and established local services, giving the area a distinctly urban, central character. The square’s gardens provide an important green space, while nearby Diamond Park offers another place for a short walk or outdoor break. Residents are close to the shops, cafés, takeaways, restaurants and traditional pubs around Dorset Street, Parnell Street, O’Connell Street and the north inner city. Cultural and civic attractions, including the Gate Theatre, Hugh Lane Gallery and the Rotunda area, are also within a walk or short bus journey. Community After Schools Project provides a local education and childcare-related option, while numerous schools and further-education facilities serve the wider central Dublin area. Transport is particularly convenient for city-centre commuters, with frequent Dublin Bus services, nearby Luas access from Parnell and Broadstone, and rail connections available from Drumcondra and Connolly stations. The neighbourhood suits people who value walkability, historic architecture and immediate access to central Dublin amenities, although it has the busy, lively feel typical of an inner-city location.
