We think Money magazine said it best when naming Dublin one of the hottest places to live: “Here’s where people are moving.”

Not only are people moving here, they’re staying here and they’re building here. Nearly 450 building permits were issued for new homes in 2003 with an average cost of $250,000.

People move to Dublin for a variety of reasons, including the high standard of service that the City prides itself in offering.

Sometimes our efforts are subtle. They may be in the aesthetically pleasing commercial buildings that took behind-the-scenes efforts by City planners, engineers, boards and commissions, and City Council members working together to ensure that high quality design and materials would be used.

Dublin is within 500 miles of more than 50% of the U.S. population, 35% of the Canadian population, and 60% of the nation's manufacturing facilities and consumer markets.

The City of Dublin's signature event, the Dublin Irish Festival, has earned national and international recognition as a premier celebration of the Irish culture and music. Information on the Annual Dublin Irish Festival, which takes place Friday, August 6 through Sunday, August 8, 2004.
