Farranshone Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Farranshone
Farranshone is a northside Limerick neighbourhood between the city centre, Ennis Road, Thomondgate and Ballynanty, with the V94 routing key. It is an established, largely residential area, close enough to the centre for everyday convenience while retaining a quieter suburban feel on its residential streets. The nearby Ennis Road corridor provides supermarkets, cafés, takeaways, pubs and other practical services, while the city centre adds a much broader choice of restaurants, shopping and cultural venues. Families have several primary and secondary-school options within a short journey, including schools around Ennis Road, Thomondgate and the city centre. Bus services on the main roads provide access towards Limerick city and surrounding suburbs, and the area is also well placed for walking and cycling into the centre. The N18 and N69 approaches, along with the nearby Limerick Tunnel, make road commuting towards Shannon, County Clare and west Limerick relatively straightforward, although peak traffic can be busy. Residents are close to the River Shannon, Thomond Park and the riverside walks around the city, with sports clubs and community facilities adding to the local appeal.
