About Carrickmines
Carrickmines is a suburban area in south Dublin’s D18 district, positioned between Foxrock, Leopardstown, Stepaside, Kilternan and Cherrywood. It has a predominantly residential character, with established housing estates and newer developments alongside open countryside and the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. The area is especially convenient for motorists, sitting close to the M50 and N11, while the Luas Green Line provides a practical public-transport route towards Sandyford, Dundrum and central Dublin. The Park Carrickmines is the main local retail and leisure destination, with shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services, while Foxrock and Stepaside add further independent cafés, pubs and eateries nearby. Families have access to a selection of primary and secondary schools in the wider south-Dublin area, although exact catchment arrangements vary by address. Outdoor options include nearby parks, playing fields and mountain walks, with recreational facilities at venues such as Westwood Club and the Leopardstown area. Carrickmines is also close to Leopardstown Racecourse, making it attractive to residents who enjoy racing, events and the wider leisure offering around south County Dublin.
