Boher Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Boher
Boher is a predominantly rural locality in east County Limerick, between the suburban edge of Castletroy and the villages of Caherconlish, Cappamore and Murroe. It has a quiet, open countryside character, with scattered homes, farmland and close-knit community life rather than a conventional village-centre layout. Residents generally rely on nearby settlements for everyday shopping, cafés, pubs, healthcare and other services, while Limerick city is readily accessible for larger retail, employment and leisure needs. Primary-school provision is available in the surrounding parish areas, with secondary schools and further education concentrated in nearby towns and Limerick. Road transport is central to daily life: the R445 and the M7 provide useful routes towards Limerick, while local roads connect Boher with Annacotty, Lisnagry, Murroe, Cappamore and Pallasgreen. Local social life centres on parish and sporting organisations, with GAA, community activities and traditional pubs particularly important in the surrounding villages. The nearby University of Limerick, Castletroy retail area and Plassey Park offer major educational, employment, shopping and leisure facilities within a short drive. The area suits people seeking a rural setting while remaining within commuting distance of Limerick city and the wider east Limerick community network.
