Ongar is an area of greenfield housing developments in the outer suburbs of Dublin, Ireland. Building started in 2001 and continues today. Ongar is located south of Clonee and is sometimes shown as part of that area, and west of Clonsilla and Blanchardstown. It is roughly 3 km from Blanchardstown Shopping Centre.
The area includes a mix of apartments and larger houses. Nearby neighbourhoods include Hazelbury Green and Beechfield, both being a 10 minute walk from Ongar, respectively.
The focal point of Ongar is an "old style Irish village" main street where all of the area's commercial services are located. At present there is a Dunnes Stores, a barber shop, a ladies hair salon, a florist, a café, a print shop, a woman's gym, a butcher shop, a bakery, a dry cleaners, a Chinese take away, a Pizza outlet, an optician, a bookmaker as well as a medical centre and several commercial offices, and a video rental store. The old Ongar Manor House will soon reopen its doors as a pub and restaurant. The Ongar Educate Together Primary School is also due to move to a permanent home in September 2007.
The site on which Ongar is built is the site of a former stud farm whose previous owners include the Aga Khan and the American actress Rita Hayworth.
