St Margarets Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About St Margarets
St Margarets is a rural village and dispersed residential area in north County Dublin, within the K67 postal district and close to Dublin Airport. It has a quieter, country feel than neighbouring Ballymun or Finglas, with farmland, established homes and small clusters of housing alongside the busy north-west Dublin road network. Everyday life is car-oriented, although Dublin Bus services connect the village and surrounding roads with the city, airport and nearby suburbs. Local education includes St Margaret’s National School, while secondary-school choices and larger retail centres are generally found in nearby Finglas, Ballymun, Blanchardstown and Swords. The village has a small selection of local shops and licensed premises rather than a substantial high-street restaurant scene; residents commonly travel to nearby centres for supermarkets, cafés and more extensive dining. The surrounding countryside provides opportunities for walking and cycling, while nearby amenities include sports facilities, parks and the retail services around Charlestown and Gulliver’s Retail Park. St Margarets Golf and Country Club is a notable local landmark, and the area’s proximity to Dublin Airport, the M50 and the N2 is particularly useful for commuters and airport-related employment.
