Firhouse Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Firhouse
Firhouse is a mainly residential suburb in south-west Dublin, within the D24 area and close to Knocklyon, Ballycullen, Templeogue, Bohernabreena and Oldbawn. It has a settled, family-oriented feel, with established housing estates, newer development around Ballycullen and open countryside and foothill scenery towards the Dublin Mountains. Everyday shopping is centred on Firhouse Shopping Centre, including SuperValu and Firhouse Post Office, while larger retail areas in Tallaght and Rathfarnham are within a short drive. The Park Community Centre provides a useful local base for activities and services, and Parklands adds nearby green space and recreation. Firhouse has several primary and secondary schools in the surrounding neighbourhoods, making it popular with families, although school places and exact catchment areas should be checked directly. Dublin Bus services connect the area with Tallaght, the city centre and other south Dublin suburbs, while the M50 provides convenient access for motorists. Local evenings are generally quieter and suburban, with cafés, takeaways and neighbourhood pubs nearby; a wider choice of restaurants, bars and entertainment is available in Templeogue, Rathfarnham and Tallaght. The area also benefits from proximity to the Dodder Valley, Bohernabreena Reservoir and Dublin Mountains, offering walking, running and cycling opportunities beyond the estate parks.
