Carysfort Avenue

Named after the Carysfort estate that once occupied the land between Blackrock and Mount Merrion, this townland retains traces of its aristocratic past in the mature trees and generous plot sizes along Carysfort Avenue. The former Carysfort College — a teacher training institution that closed in 1988 — has been partially redeveloped. The area sits at a useful intersection of suburbs, with Blackrock village, UCD, and the Stillorgan corridor all within easy reach.
