A suburb of Dublin, Stepaside lies on the R117 regional road to the south-east of the city, at the foot of Three Rock Mountain. The area is located just off Junction 14 of the M50 motorway. Neighbouring areas include Sandyford, Kilternan, Ballyogan, Leopardstown, Carrickmines and Glencullen.
Stepaside is serviced by several Dublin Bus services. The Luas Green Line has been extended to Cherrywood and the nearest stop (The Gallops or Ballyogan Wood) is approx 2 kilometers from the centre of Stepaside.
Since 2002 the Stepaside area has witnessed an extensive home-building programme and an accompanying large growth in population. Previously a separate rural village, it has been absorbed by the Dublin conurbation to the north and east. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council recently announced plans to build a community park for the Carrickmines, Ballyogan, and Stepaside areas at a cost of €40 million. A large civic centre will be built and the park will be named after Samuel Beckett.
Stepaside contains several shops and pubs, and six new shops, a pub, and an off-licence were recently built on the site of the old Mountain View bar and restaurant in the centre of the village.[1] The area is situated 4 kilometres south of Dundrum Town Centre.
