About Windy Arbour
Windy Arbour is a compact, established south-Dublin locality in D14, positioned between Dundrum and Clonskeagh near the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. It has a mainly residential character, with mature streets, apartment developments and convenient access to larger neighbourhood centres rather than a substantial village core of its own. Residents are close to schools in Dundrum, Churchtown, Clonskeagh and Stillorgan, while University College Dublin is readily accessible for higher education, employment and cultural facilities. The Luas Green Line at Windy Arbour provides a particularly useful link towards Dundrum, Sandyford and the city centre, complemented by Dublin Bus routes and nearby access to the M50. Everyday shopping is available locally and in Dundrum, with Dundrum Town Centre providing a broad choice of supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, shops and entertainment. Local dining and pub options are found around Dundrum, Churchtown and nearby Goatstown, while Marley Park, Airfield Estate and the UCD campus offer substantial green space and leisure opportunities. The area also benefits from proximity to sports clubs, gyms and community facilities, making it a practical base for commuters and families seeking a quieter setting close to Dublin’s southside amenities.
