Rooms to Rent in Dundrum, Dublin 14

Dundrum, once a village in its own right, is a southside suburb in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, mostly in Dublin 14 with some parts in Dublin 16. Its Irish name, Dún Droma, means the ridge fort. Dundrum is best known for Dundrum Town Centre, which opened in 2005 and is one of Ireland's two largest shopping centres, with well over a hundred shops, plus restaurants and a cinema. The older village centre, with its own shopping centre, a public library and Dundrum College of Further Education, sits just to the north.

There is more to Dundrum than shopping. Airfield Estate, a 38-acre working farm and gardens, was left in trust to the Irish people by the Overend family in 1974. The ancient church site of St Nahi's, which gave the area its old name of Taney, is nearby. The Luas Green line crosses Taney Cross on the William Dargan Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge that is the largest engineering structure on the line.

Two Green line stops, Dundrum and Balally, give direct trams through Ranelagh to St Stephen's Green and the city centre, and south to Sandyford and Cherrywood, and orbital bus routes link Dundrum with other suburbs. Rooms here range from apartments to spare rooms in family homes, and the area suits people working in Sandyford, at UCD or in the city centre who want the Luas on their doorstep.
