About Killester

Killester is an established, leafy northside Dublin suburb in the D03 area, positioned between Clontarf, Donnycarney, Artane and Beaumont. It is primarily residential, with a settled community atmosphere, generous mature gardens and convenient access to the coast, city centre and Dublin Airport. Families are well served by nearby primary and secondary schools, while the area’s main everyday shopping is concentrated around Killester village, Collins Avenue and neighbouring Clontarf. The DART at Killester provides a particularly useful commuting option, with trains towards the city centre, south Dublin and northern coastal suburbs, while frequent Dublin Bus services run along Collins Avenue, Howth Road and Malahide Road. Local cafés, takeaways, restaurants and traditional pubs are available nearby, with a wider choice in Clontarf and along Fairview and Marino. Residents also have easy access to St Anne’s Park, the seafront and promenade at Clontarf, sports clubs and community facilities. Killester DART Station Park and Ride and Blackheath Park Castle Avenue are useful local reference points, while the area’s proximity to Beaumont Hospital adds practical convenience.
