About Kilternan
Kilternan is a largely rural, dispersed locality in south County Dublin, set between the foothills of the Dublin Mountains and the more suburban areas of Carrickmines, Stepaside and Sandyford. It has a quiet, open character, with country lanes, equestrian land and mountain views, while remaining within reach of Dublin’s southside employment areas. The local education provision is limited within Kilternan itself, with The Old Schoolhouse a notable nearby landmark; families commonly also look towards schools in Stepaside, Sandyford, Carrickmines and surrounding villages. There is no rail or Luas station in Kilternan, so most residents rely on cars, local bus services and nearby park-and-ride or Luas connections for commuting. The M50, N11 and Dublin mountain roads provide useful road links, although peak-time traffic can be significant. Everyday shopping and a broader choice of cafés, restaurants, pubs and services are generally found in Stepaside, Carrickmines, Sandyford and Dundrum rather than in the rural core. Outdoor life is a major attraction, with riding, walking and access to the Dublin Mountains particularly prominent; Carrickmines Equestrian Centre and Springfield Stud Farm are important local amenities. The area suits residents seeking space and a countryside setting while staying close to south Dublin’s retail, business and leisure facilities.
