Ballsbridge is a wonderful Southside village where embassies and offices sit alongside boutiques and bistros. With tree-lined avenues and beautiful Victorian red-brick estates, it is a quiet and friendly place to live, close to the city centre.

History & Culture
Named after the Ball family of the merchants who traded in the 16th and 17th century, Ballsbridge emerged from the marsh and mudflats of the Dodder valley and by the 1700s had a cotton printer, paper mill and gun powder factory. With a continued influx new infrastructure was needed and, in 1870, Lansdowne Road and Ballsbridge railway station was then opened. The Johnston, Mooney & O’Brien bakery was founded in 1889 along the Dodder River and it was the first bakery to wrap bread in 1925, and the first to introduce the sliced pan thirteen years later. The Royal Dublin Society (RDS) was founded in 1731 to promote and develop Irish agriculture, arts, industry and science. Originally located in the city centre, the RDS moved to Ballsbridge in 1879 and since has been offering an extensive programme of events. The U.S. embassy is an iconic cylindrical-shaped building, and another major landmark in Ballsbridge today.Education
