Overview and Location
This property is a shared apartment located at 6 Mount Andrew Rise, Yellow Walls, Lucan, Co. Dublin. It is classified as a “Room in a 4 Bedroom Apartment” and falls under the unit types of non-ensuite and independent house. The address places it in the Lucan suburb, approximately 15 km west of Dublin city centre. Public transport links (Dublin Bus and Luas) connect Lucan to central Dublin, with journey times of roughly 30–50 minutes depending on the route and traffic.
The property is within commuting distance of the main Dublin universities: Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, and Dublin City University. However, daily travel times will be longer than properties located closer to the city centre or campus areas.
The apartment includes a refrigerator, heater, and laundry facilities (shared). The listing currently carries a “not available” tag, meaning the room may not be open for new bookings at the time of writing — always confirm live availability with the operator before making plans.
Who This Residence Suits
- Students who prefer a quieter suburban environment – Lucan is a residential area with parks, shops, and fewer distractions than the city centre. If you want a calm place to study after lectures, this area can work.
- Budget-conscious students – Dublin’s city‑centre rents are high. While the exact price for this room is not listed, Lucan generally offers more affordable accommodation than similar rooms near Trinity or UCD. Check the operator for the latest monthly rate; as a reference, the city’s from‑price for student housing is €219 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This room is likely priced somewhere above that range, but still below many city‑centre options.
- Students willing to commute – If you don’t mind a 30‑ to 50‑minute bus/Luas ride to campus, this location provides a balance of lower cost and living space.
- Those who want a fixed group of flatmates – In a 4‑bedroom apartment, you share common areas (kitchen, living room, laundry) with three others. This suits outgoing students who enjoy a social household.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Students who need to be on campus or in the city core – The outer‑suburb location adds significant travel time. If your schedule includes early classes or late library sessions, a property closer to the city would be more practical.
- Those seeking an ensuite room – The unit type is non‑ensuite, meaning you will share a bathroom with other residents. If privacy with your own toilet/shower is important, look for ensuite listings.
- Students with very tight budgets – Although Lucan is generally cheaper than the city centre, the city’s starting price of €219 (indicative) is very low (likely a room in a shared house with basic amenities). This room may cost more, depending on the size, condition, and included utilities. Compare multiple listings to ensure the price fits your monthly allowance.
- Anyone needing immediate availability – The “not available” flag suggests this specific room may not be open for booking now. Contact the operator to check if it is expected to become free in the 2026/2027 academic year, or consider other active listings.
Resident Feedback
There are no published reviews for this property at the time of writing. Without resident comments, it is not possible to quote real experiences about noise, landlord responsiveness, internet speed, or cleanliness.

Price Positioning
Dublin’s student housing market sees a wide spread in monthly rents. The city from‑price for all student properties listed is €219 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This low figure likely corresponds to a basic shared room or a dormitory bed in a large house with multiple occupants.
The Room in a 4 Bedroom Apartment at Mount Andrew Rise does not display a specific price. Based on typical Lucan rents for a non‑ensuite room in a 4‑bed apartment, you can expect a figure higher than the city floor price — likely in the range of €500–€700 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Factors influencing the final rent include whether utilities (electricity, heating, internet) are included, the condition of the apartment, and the length of the lease.
Always treat any price you see online as indicative only. The exact amount must be confirmed directly with the housing operator before any payment or commitment.

- Share arrangement: 4 bedrooms, common kitchen and living area. Laundry facilities are on-site (shared).
- Appliances: Refrigerator and heater provided. No mention of a washing machine, but “laundry facility” is listed — likely a shared washing machine/dryer in the building.

If you prefer an ensuite, look for properties tagged “ensuite” or “studio.” This room is better suited to those comfortable with sharing a bathroom.
Booking Timing
Because the listing currently shows “not available,” booking is not possible for this specific room right now. However, if you are planning for the 2026/2027 academic year, here are general tips:
- Start searching early: Dublin’s student accommodation fills quickly. Many operators open bookings for October 2026 entry as early as February–April 2026. Some release rooms 6–12 months in advance.
- Monitor the listing: If this room becomes available again, apply soon after. Use the on‑site assistant (on the amber platform) to set alerts or check live availability.
- Have a backup: With only 50 student properties listed in the city (based on the reference data), competition is high. Identify two or three alternative rooms in similar price ranges.
