Mercer Avenue

At the frontier of DLR's southward expansion, Laughanstown has been transformed by the Cherrywood development and the arrival of the Luas Green Line extension. New apartment blocks and housing estates have grown rapidly around the Luas stop, creating a modern residential quarter where farmland stood within living memory. The proximity to the M50 and the planned Cherrywood town centre give the area a forward-looking character distinct from the older suburbs to the north.
