About Oldbawn
Oldbawn is a mature, mainly residential neighbourhood in south-west Dublin, within the D24 area and close to Firhouse, Bohernabreena, Tallaght and Kilnamanagh. It has an established suburban feel, with housing estates, local green spaces and convenient access to the wider Tallaght area. Families are well served by nearby primary and secondary schools, while Tallaght town centre provides further education, shopping and services. Public transport is centred on Dublin Bus routes through Oldbawn and surrounding districts, with the Luas Red Line accessible from Tallaght and Belgard for journeys towards Dublin city. Local day-to-day shopping is available around Saint Dominic’s Shopping Centre and the wider Tallaght retail area, with cafés, takeaways and pubs nearby rather than a large restaurant quarter within Oldbawn itself. Parkwood Lawn, Mountain Park and the surrounding green spaces provide opportunities for walking, informal recreation and children’s play. The nearby Dublin Mountains and Bohernabreena Reservoir add attractive outdoor options, while Tallaght Stadium, the Civic Theatre and The Square provide larger-scale leisure and entertainment. Oldbawn is therefore a practical, community-oriented base for commuters and families seeking relatively easy access to both suburban amenities and the mountains.
