Kilternan Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Kilternan
Kilternan is a predominantly rural and residential locality in south County Dublin, on the foothills of the Dublin Mountains between Carrickmines, Stepaside, Glencullen and Rathmichael. It has a spacious, semi-rural feel, with scattered homes, equestrian facilities and open countryside contrasting with the more built-up suburbs to the east. The area is convenient for families who value outdoor space, while still being within reach of Sandyford, Carrickmines and central Dundrum for employment, shopping and services. Local education provision is limited within Kilternan itself, with nearby options including The Old Schoolhouse and schools in Stepaside, Sandyford and surrounding villages. Public transport is less direct than in the neighbouring urban areas, so many residents rely on cars, although Luas Green Line stations at Carrickmines, Ballyogan Wood and Glencairn provide useful connections towards Sandyford and Dublin city. Everyday shopping and dining are generally found in nearby Carrickmines, Stepaside and Sandyford, with pubs, cafés and restaurants serving the wider south Dublin community. Leisure tends to centre on the countryside, walking routes, riding and sports clubs, including facilities around Carrickmines Equestrian Centre and Springfield Stud Farm, while the Dublin Mountains and nearby parks offer extensive recreation. The M50 and N11 are readily accessible, making commuting towards Dublin, Wicklow and the wider region practical, though traffic can be busy at peak times.
