About Monasterevin
Monasterevin is a historic market town in south County Kildare, set on the River Barrow and the Grand Canal close to the borders with Laois and Offaly. It has a settled, community-oriented character, with traditional streets, canal-side scenery and a mix of established housing and newer residential estates. The town is well placed for commuters, as rail services run from Monasterevin station towards Kildare, Portlaoise and Dublin, while the M7 and M9 provide convenient road connections. Families have access to local primary and secondary education, with further schools and services available in Kildare town and Portlaoise. Day-to-day shopping is centred on the town’s independent businesses and Mill Street Shopping Centre, alongside cafés, takeaways, pubs and restaurants. Outdoor life is a strong feature, with walks along the canal and Barrow, local green spaces, and nearby attractions including Moore Abbey and the Grand Canal Way. Residents also benefit from community sports, clubs and services, while larger retail, healthcare and leisure choices are available a short drive away in Kildare, Portlaoise and Newbridge.
