Bluebell Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Bluebell
Bluebell is a compact, established residential locality in south-west Dublin, within the D12 area and close to Drimnagh, the Long Mile Road, Walkinstown, Ballymount and Park West. It has a practical, mixed urban character, with established housing alongside industrial, commercial and transport uses, rather than the feel of a self-contained village. Families benefit from access to schools in Bluebell and neighbouring Drimnagh, while everyday shopping and services are readily available along the Long Mile Road, in Walkinstown and at nearby retail parks. The Luas Red Line provides a direct public transport connection towards the city centre and west Dublin, and Dublin Bus routes serve the surrounding roads; the M50 and N7 are also convenient for drivers. Local social life is generally centred on nearby pubs, cafés, takeaways and community facilities in Bluebell, Drimnagh and Walkinstown, with a wider choice of restaurants and leisure venues a short journey away. The Frank Fahey Centre is an important local community and sports facility, while the surrounding industrial estates provide garages, motor businesses and employment. Parks and open spaces in Drimnagh and nearby districts offer places for informal recreation, and the Grand Canal is accessible for walking and cycling. Bluebell suits residents seeking relatively affordable established housing with strong road and public-transport connections, while noting that some local streets and commercial areas have a distinctly urban, working-neighbourhood character.
