History
Edenmore was developed by Dublin Corporation in the early 1960s on two of Raheny's townlands, then largely empty. While it is part of Raheny and shown in addresses as Edenmore, Raheny, with its own schools, small shopping centre, Roman Catholic church, health centre and football and boxing clubs, it has a quite distinct identity.

Edenmore is serviced by the Dublin Bus routes, 27, 27A and 104. Raheny and Harmonstown DART stations are also both short walking distances away.
Amenities
Edenmore Park, an extensive municipal park, offers a range of sporting facilities, including a pitch and putt course.
