About Dun Laoghaire

It has a settled, urban character, with period terraces, apartments and residential streets centred on the harbour, seafront and main shopping areas.

The town is well placed for commuting to Dublin city and other southside centres, with DART services from Dún Laoghaire station, frequent Dublin Bus routes and road access via the N31 and M50 connections. George’s Street and the surrounding streets provide supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, with further dining and evening options in Glasthule and Monkstown. People’s Park offers landscaped grounds, walking space and a popular weekend market, while the harbour, coastal paths, libraries, leisure facilities and nearby clubs provide plenty of recreation. Healthcare, veterinary, laundry, postal and community services are also readily available, including Park Lane Vets, Park Laundry & Dry Cleaning, An Post Sallynoggin and Central Dun Laoghaire Senior Citizens.
