The surrounding area has plenty in the way of educational facilities: Le Cheile Secondary School in Abbotstown, St Luke’s and Tyrrelstown Educate Together both offer primary schooling, while the third-level offering includes the Technological University of Dublin, Blanchardstown Campus.

In terms of sport, local clubs include football, rugby and GAA, and for water babies the National Aquatic Centre is only 5km away. For those with a penchant for golf, there are four, 18-hole clubs in the area.

For commuters, the M3, M50 and M1 and N2 road links are all local, while the area is well served by a number of bus routes (such as the 39/39A) for those who need or prefer to use public transport.

The development is aimed at first-time buyers and certain homes qualify for a number of financial incentives, such as the First Home Scheme, the Help-to-Buy scheme (a tax rebate scheme for first-time homebuyers) and in partnership with Fingal County Council the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme.

As there are no show homes or viewings, reservations for the homes at Kilmartin Grove are being made off plans.
