Crecora Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Crecora
Crecora is a rural, close-knit locality in south County Limerick, around 15 kilometres from Limerick city and within easy reach of Adare, Croom, Patrickswell and Dooradoyle. The area is characterised by farmland, scattered homes and a quiet village atmosphere, making it appealing to residents seeking space while remaining within commuting distance of the city. Local daily life centres on the community, primary schooling and nearby villages, with larger shopping, healthcare and leisure facilities generally found in Dooradoyle, Raheen, Croom or Limerick. Crecora National School provides local primary education, while secondary-school choices include Crescent College Comprehensive in Dooradoyle and schools in Limerick city and Croom, subject to admissions and transport arrangements. Road travel is the main transport option, with the N20 and N21 providing access towards Limerick, Cork and Kerry, and the M7/M20 network reachable via the city and surrounding junctions. Bus services in the wider area are limited compared with urban Limerick, so most residents rely on cars for commuting, shopping and school runs. Pubs and casual dining are available in nearby villages and suburbs, while Dooradoyle and the city provide a broader choice of restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, cinemas and healthcare services. Residents also benefit from local GAA and community activity, the countryside around the locality, and nearby recreational facilities including University Hospital Limerick and the shopping and leisure services of Crescent Shopping Centre.
