It lies between Shankill, Loughlinstown, Kilternan and the County Wicklow boundary near Bray, with a distinctly semi-rural feel despite convenient access to the capital. Housing is varied, including established detached homes, newer developments and larger properties set among mature greenery.

Commuters generally use the nearby M50, N11 and Dublin Bus routes, with DART services accessible from Shankill and Bray stations. Local day-to-day shopping is centred on Shankill, Ballybrack, Cherrywood and nearby retail areas, while cafés, restaurants and pubs are available in Shankill, Cabinteely, Stepaside and Bray.
