Galway
About Shantalla
Shantalla is a mature, mainly residential neighbourhood on Galway city’s western side, positioned between the City Centre, Rahoon, Salthill and Kilkerran. It has an established suburban feel, with a mix of family homes, apartments and local services, while remaining close enough to the centre for cycling, walking or short bus journeys. Residents have convenient everyday shopping at Dunnes Stores and access to healthcare through GalviaWest Medical Centre and McSharry's Pharmacy Westside. The area is well placed for schools in west Galway and city-centre education, including nearby primary and secondary options, with University of Galway also readily accessible. Bus services along the surrounding roads provide links towards Eyre Square, Salthill and west Galway, while the city’s main roads make commuting by car straightforward, although traffic can be busy at peak times. Food and drink options are available locally and in neighbouring Salthill and the Westside, including The Rose Garden Chinese Restaurant & Takeaway, alongside cafés, pubs and restaurants a short distance away. Leisure opportunities include walks towards Salthill Promenade, access to city parks and playing pitches, and the wider cultural, sporting and retail amenities of central Galway.
