About Bohernabreena
Bohernabreena is a predominantly rural and residential locality in south-west Dublin, within the D24 area and close to Firhouse, Glenasmole, Kiltipper, Knocklyon, Aylesbury and Oldbawn. It sits at the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, with a quieter, greener feel than much of suburban Tallaght and attractive access to open countryside. Bohernabreena Reservoir and the surrounding valley are the area’s defining landmarks, offering scenic walking and informal recreation, while the nearby Dodder valley adds further space for outdoor activities. Residents generally rely on neighbouring Firhouse, Oldbawn and Tallaght for everyday shopping, cafés, restaurants, pubs and larger services, with Old Bawn Shopping Centre providing a convenient local retail hub. Schools are available in the surrounding communities, including primary and secondary options in Firhouse, Tallaght and Templeogue. Bus services connect the area towards Tallaght, Rathfarnham and Dublin city, while the M50 and N81 are useful road links for commuters. Local social life is centred on nearby pubs, sports clubs and community facilities, with Tallaght providing the broadest choice of restaurants, leisure venues, healthcare and employment services.
