Longmile Road Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Longmile Road
Long Mile Road is a busy, mixed-use south Dublin corridor in D12, running between the Crumlin, Walkinstown and Bluebell areas and close to Dublin’s south-western suburbs. It has a practical, urban character, with established housing nearby alongside trade counters, workshops, offices, retail units and larger commercial premises along the road itself. Residents generally rely on neighbouring districts for schools, supermarkets, cafés and evening venues, while the Naas Road, Walkinstown and Crumlin provide a wider choice of services. Bus routes on and around Long Mile Road connect with the city centre and south-west Dublin, and the area is also convenient to the Luas Red Line at Bluebell and Kylemore, subject to walking or a short connecting journey. The road network gives straightforward access to the M50, N7 and Naas Road, although traffic can be heavy at peak times. Nearby education includes schools in Walkinstown, Crumlin and Bluebell, with further secondary and third-level options accessible across Dublin. Local leisure is centred on nearby parks, sports clubs and community facilities, while bars, restaurants and cafés are more plentiful around Walkinstown, Crumlin and the Naas Road than directly on the industrial stretches of Long Mile Road. The area is especially useful for commuters and workers needing access to Dublin’s south-west business and industrial districts, with landmarks such as Sundrive Road, Walkinstown Roundabout and the Grand Canal corridor close by.
