History of Beech Park & the wider area

The original Beech Park / South Park estate of 325 houses was developed in 1962 by Park Developments. The land developed was originally within the Barony of Rathdown.

Note: I have been informed that there is an existing residents association currently in operation for Foxrock Wood & Grange Park.

The roads included above are an example of the areas that could be included in the Beech Park residents association and do not include all of the areas within the LF electoral area. If other areas within the LF electoral area are to be included, this can be agreed during the initial setup of the Beech Park residents association initial meeeting.

Some statistics related to the Foxrock-beechpark area. 

Most of the data has been taken from the 2022 census for the A7 Foxrock-Beechpark electoral area (www.cso.ie).

• The median value of houses sold in Dublin 18 as of March 2025 was €645K. House price value of houses within our specific area would be considerable above the median value.

• There are 394 houses in the Foxrock-Beechpark area built between 1961-1970, thus our area contains most of that old housing stock.

• There are 1758 persons living in the Foxrock-beechpark area.

• There are 439 persons under the age of 25 in the Foxrock-beechpark area.

• There are 344 retired persons in the Foxrock-beechpark area.

Note: the data above was accurate as per 2022 and will have changed between 2022 and 2025.

Note: As per 2026 indicitive property values, the overall value of the properties within the estate of circa 600 houses is in excess of 450 million euros 

Note: There was a residents association and a neighbour hood watch initiative within the estate, however both ceased in the early 90's I believe.
