The Gates

A residential townland in the Sandyford area, Blackthorn has grown alongside the broader commercial and residential development that the Luas Green Line brought to this part of south Dublin. The housing is predominantly modern, and the proximity to the Sandyford business district and the Beacon Hospital gives the area a practical, well-connected character. The Luas terminus and the M50 junction make Blackthorn a convenient base for commuters heading in any direction.
