Johnstown, Dublin
Johnstown (Irish: Baile Eoin) is a small area of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. Once part of the grounds of Johnstown House, it is now primarily an estate of semi-detached houses and detached houses built during the 1960s by private developers and apartment blocks built in the last few years due to a heavy demand for housing.
Johnstown is also the name of a parish of the Roman Catholic Church. Its church was recently (2005) reroofed and a new community centre has opened beside the church, which accommodates local groups.
The area of Johnstown is bordered by Cabinteely, Sallynoggin, Ballybrack and Killiney.
