Where to stay in Greenhills
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Few rooms exist in Greenhills itself. Greenhills is residential ground lying between Kimmage, Terenure and Walkinstown, so a visitor with reason to be in the area books in Tallaght or in Dublin itself and travels out to it. Either address works.
The Church of the Holy Spirit and Kimmage Manor Parish Church are the named buildings closest to hand, and a Dublin 12 postcode keeps the suburb inside the city's ordinary run of streets rather than out past its edge.

About Greenhills
What are the main landmarks in Greenhills?
Three names make up the list. The Church of the Holy Spirit and Kimmage Manor Parish Church give the suburb its pair of parish buildings, while the Terenure Badminton Centre covers the sporting side of what Greenhills records. Streets outnumber sights.
Most of the ground here is taken up by residential developments laid out between Ballymount, Templeogue and Terenure, so anyone hunting monuments ends up walking toward Tallaght or back into Dublin.
What is the history of Greenhills?
Walkinstown came first. The ground that carries the name Greenhills was historically part of Walkinstown, and a separate identity followed the residential developments that filled the space between Kimmage, Ballymount and Templeogue. County Dublin set the frame.
Local government runs through South Dublin, the Dublin 12 postal district supplies the address by which the city files the suburb, and the parish churches mark the stage at which the new estates acquired buildings of their own.
