About Killiney
Killiney is an affluent, largely residential coastal suburb in south County Dublin, set between Dalkey, Ballybrack, Loughlinstown and Cabinteely. It is known for leafy streets, sea views and the wooded slopes of Killiney Hill, with a generally quiet, settled feel despite convenient access to Dublin. Families have access to nearby primary and secondary schools in Killiney, Dalkey, Glenageary and Loughlinstown, while Dún Laoghaire and Sandyford provide further education and employment options. The DART at Killiney and nearby Dalkey and Glenageary stations is the principal rail connection, complemented by Dublin Bus services and quick road access via the N11 and M50. Local shopping is centred on nearby Ballybrack, Dalkey and Dún Laoghaire, with Tesco and Ballybrack Shopping Centre useful for everyday essentials. Residents can choose from cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs in Dalkey, Ballybrack and Dún Laoghaire, rather than relying on a large commercial centre within Killiney itself. Killiney Hill Park offers excellent walking, viewpoints and open space, while the coast, beaches and Dún Laoghaire’s harbour are close by for leisure. The area also benefits from nearby sports clubs, community facilities and the distinctive landmark of Killiney Hill and its obelisk.
