Meakstown Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Meakstown
Meakstown is a suburban residential area in north-west Dublin, within the D11 routing district and close to Ballymun, Finglas and Poppintree. It is largely made up of established housing estates, with a practical, community-oriented feel and convenient access to larger local centres rather than a traditional village main street. Families are well served by nearby primary and secondary schools in Ballymun, Finglas and surrounding districts, while Dublin City University and other education facilities are within a relatively short bus journey. Commuters generally rely on frequent Dublin Bus services, with the M50 and M1 providing useful road connections to the wider Dublin region; the nearest Luas Green Line access is at Ballymun’s planned MetroLink corridor rather than an operating Luas stop. Everyday shopping is available locally and in nearby Ballymun, Charlestown and Clearwater, including supermarkets, pharmacies and other services. Pubs, takeaways, cafés and restaurants are concentrated around Ballymun village, Finglas and the Charlestown Shopping Centre area, with a broader choice available in Glasnevin and Dublin city centre. Leisure options include nearby parks, community facilities and sports clubs, while DCU’s campus, the National Botanic Gardens and the Morton Stadium area are also accessible for recreation and events.
