Rooms to Rent in Ashtown, Dublin 15

Ashtown is a suburb on the north-western side of Dublin, by the Royal Canal and the Navan Road, with Castleknock to the west, Finglas to the north, Cabra to the east and the Phoenix Park to the south. Most addresses are in Dublin 15, with some in Dublin 7, and unlike neighbouring Castleknock, which is in Fingal, the Ashtown townland falls within Dublin City Council. Large new residential developments have been built around Pelletstown and the Royal Canal.

Rail is a big advantage here. Ashtown station, which opened in 1902, and Pelletstown station, which opened in 2021, are both on the Maynooth commuter line, with trains to Connolly, Tara Street and Pearse, and Broombridge, where you can change to the Luas Green line, is just down the line. Buses run along the Navan Road into the city. The Phoenix Park's Ashtown Gate is about 500 metres from Ashtown station, and the park's visitor centre is at Ashtown Castle, a restored medieval tower house.

Teagasc, the state agriculture and food agency, has a food research centre at Ashtown, and the Royal Canal towpath links the area with Cabra and Phibsborough on foot or by bike. Rooms here range from apartments in the newer developments to houses in established estates, and Ashtown suits people who want a newer home with rail and the Phoenix Park close by.
