Overview and Location
This property is a room within a seven-bedroom apartment located at 43 Brookhaven Drive, Corduff, Dublin 15 (postcode D15 P03X). The area is a residential suburb in the northwest of Dublin, approximately 12 km from the city centre. Public transport links – including bus routes and the Luas light rail – provide access to Heuston Station and the wider city. The property sits near local shops and essential facilities, which one resident noted as convenient for daily needs. The Google rating of 4.2 from 110 reviews indicates a generally positive perception among former occupants. The accommodation is listed as “not available” at the time of data collection (July 2026), so availability should be confirmed directly with the operator.
Who This Accommodation Suits
This apartment is best suited for students or young professionals who prioritise social living and are comfortable sharing a large house with six other people. The non‑ensuite room type means you will share bathroom and kitchen facilities, which can help keep costs lower than studio or ensuite options in Dublin. Residents with a 6‑month minimum lease flexibility will find the term workable for a semester or a short‑term work placement. The inclusion of a microwave, heater, and laundry facilities (tagged in the listing) covers basic living needs.
The location is practical for those who do not need to be in the city centre every day. Commuters to Dublin City University (DCU), Trinity College Dublin, or University College Dublin can use bus or Luas connections. One reviewer highlighted that “the location is perfect to travel easily across Dublin”. Another mentioned “great location for busses/luas and Heuston station”, which is useful for inter‑city rail travel. The area itself is quieter than central Dublin, which may appeal to people who prefer less street noise.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
This property is not suited for anyone who wants a private bathroom or a studio‑style living arrangement. The room is in a seven‑bedroom shared apartment, so noise and cleanliness will depend on housemates. If you need a short‑term lease under six months, this minimum term may not fit a summer internship or a month‑long exchange. The address in Corduff, Dublin 15 is relatively far from the city centre – a commute of 30–45 minutes by bus is typical. People who rely on walking to campus or need to be at Trinity College or UCD daily may find the travel time too long. Additionally, the listing’s “not_available” tag suggests limited or no current vacancies; you will need to check if the room is offered again in later intake periods.
What Residents Say
Three Google reviews are attached to this listing. They are reproduced verbatim below (with minor punctuation adjustments for clarity, but no content changed).

Tanvi Shenoy (5 stars)
“Amazing student accommodation! They’ve got great amenities and the staff are super friendly and helpful! Highly recommend this to any incoming students, especially international students. The location is perfect to travel easily across Dublin!”
Laoise Geraghty (5 stars)
“Very happy with this accommodation, everyone is very helpful! It’s in a great location for busses/luas and Heuston station. Great facilities with the gym and study room too.”
Note: The reviews reference “Highlight Parkgate Student Accommodation” and mention a gym and study room, which may describe a broader building complex rather than this specific seven‑bedroom apartment. The property listing tags do not include a gym or study room. Confirm with the operator which facilities are actually available at 43 Brookhaven Drive.
Price Positioning in Dublin
The monthly rent for this room is listed between €550 and €790. The city’s from‑price (the lowest recorded rent across all Dublin properties on the platform) is €219 per month. A rate of €550–€790 is therefore above the entry‑level shared‑room budget but still within the mid‑range for a non‑ensuite room in a suburban shared house. For context, many ensuite rooms or studio apartments in Dublin city centre start at €800–€1,200 per month.
Keep in mind that these prices are indicative — confirm with the operator. The exact rent may depend on the room size, floor level, and lease duration. The €790 upper end suggests a larger room or one with a balcony/window facing a quieter side. The €550 lower end likely applies to a standard double room.
Room Type Guidance
The unit types are listed as “non_ensuite” and “independent_house”. In practice you will be renting one bedroom in a seven‑bedroom apartment that occupies a house. You will share a kitchen, living area, and one or more bathrooms with the other six tenants. “Independent_house” suggests the entire building is a house (not a flat in a large block), which often means outdoor space or a garden may be shared. However, no garden or outdoor area is mentioned in the tags.
If you prefer a private bathroom, look for “ensuite” listings. If you want to live alone, search for “studio” or “apartment”. For those on a tighter budget, Dublin offers shared rooms or halls of residence from around €219 per month, but those often have shorter leases or stricter rules.
Booking Timing Considerations
The listing shows “not available” at the data collection date of July 2026. This could mean the room is already taken for the 2026/27 academic year or that the operator is not currently accepting new tenants. Typically, Dublin student housing becomes available in November–February for the following September. For a January 2027 start, supply may be limited.
If you are interested in this property for a lease starting in 2027, you should contact the operator several months ahead. The minimum lease of six months means a start date in September 2026 would run to February 2027, or a start in February 2027 to August 2027. Use the on‑site assistant on the platform to check if the room has become available again or if similar properties in Dublin 15 are open for booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this property near a university?
The closest major university is Dublin City University (DCU), about 6 km away, reachable by bus in roughly 20 minutes. Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin are both further – expect a 40–50 minute commute via public transport. The reviews mention good bus and Luas connections at Heuston Station, which is about 7 km from the property.
What is included in the rent?
The listing tags indicate a microwave, a heater, and laundry facilities are available. No mention of bills (electricity, heating, internet, water). You should ask whether these are included in the €550–€790 monthly rent or charged separately. The deposit amount is not listed – confirm this with the operator.
Can I stay for less than six months?
The minimum lease is six months. Shorter stays are not possible under the current listing. If you need a term of 3–4 months, look for month‑to‑month or semester‑specific housing options in Dublin.
