Ballyogan

united kingdom

Ballyogan sits between Sandyford and Stepaside in the Dublin Mountains foothills, making it a handy spot for reaching both the city center and County Wicklow. The M50 at Junction 15 gives the quickest access, though you can also come up through Donnybrook on the N11 or via Dundrum on the R117. It's about 15 kilometers to Dublin's business districts for the daily commute, while weekend trips to Glendalough take you through lovely mountain roads. The area's right next to Sandyford Business District, where Microsoft Ireland has its headquarters among other major tech companies.
