Longmile Road Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Longmile Road
Long Mile Road is a busy mixed residential, commercial and industrial corridor in Dublin 12, linking Walkinstown and Bluebell south-west of the city centre. It is less a traditional village than a practical urban locality, with established housing estates, apartment developments, workshops, trade counters and large retail outlets along and around the road. Residents benefit from straightforward access to the city and suburbs, particularly by bus and car, while the Bluebell Luas stop is within reach for journeys towards Tallaght, the city centre and beyond. Walkinstown provides additional everyday shopping, cafés, takeaways and pubs, with Crumlin and Kilmainham offering a wider choice of restaurants and leisure venues nearby. Green space is available at Brickfields Park and through the larger regional parks at Tymon and Bushy Park, although the immediate road environment is notably busy and commercial. Local education includes primary and secondary schools in Walkinstown, Crumlin and Drimnagh, with further colleges and schools accessible by public transport. The area also has strong sporting and community provision, including nearby GAA, soccer and boxing clubs, making it a convenient base for commuters who value practical amenities over a village atmosphere.
