About Kilternan
Kilternan is a semi-rural Dublin 18 locality on the southern edge of the city, between Carrickmines, Stepaside and Glencullen, with Enniskerry and Rathmichael nearby. It has a spacious, village-and-country feel, shaped by the Dublin Mountains, horse country and low-density housing rather than a conventional urban centre. The area suits residents who value outdoor space and quieter surroundings while remaining within reach of Sandyford, Cherrywood and south Dublin’s employment districts. Local education includes The Old Schoolhouse, while additional schools and childcare provision are found in neighbouring Stepaside, Sandyford, Carrickmines and south County Dublin. Public transport is more limited than in central suburbs, with bus services and nearby Luas access providing the main commuting options; the locally referenced Green, Blue, Red and Black stations should be checked against current transport mapping before relying on them as formal stop names. Shopping and everyday services are generally sourced from nearby Stepaside, Carrickmines, Sandyford and Dundrum, with larger retail provision at Carrickmines Retail Park and Dundrum Town Centre. Residents have access to cafés, restaurants and pubs in surrounding villages and suburban centres, while the area’s open landscape is particularly attractive for walking, riding and family leisure. Carrickmines Equestrian Centre & Springfield Stud Farm is a notable nearby destination, and landmarks such as the Dublin Mountains and the Wicklow foothills help give Kilternan its distinctive rural character.
