Rathbane Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Rathbane
Rathbane is a mainly residential area on Limerick’s south-eastern side, close to Janesboro, Roxboro, Rosbrien and the city centre. It has an established suburban feel, with housing, schools and everyday services within a short distance of the wider city. Education nearby includes the Model School, Midwest School for the Deaf and Limerick School Project, while several additional primary and secondary options are available across south Limerick. City-centre employment, shopping and cultural venues are readily accessible by bus, bicycle or car, and the N24 provides a useful road connection towards Tipperary and the M7. Local day-to-day shopping is centred on nearby neighbourhood parades and larger retail areas around Roxboro and Dooradoyle, with cafés, takeaways and pubs available in the surrounding districts. Residents are also close to public open space and sports facilities, including the Roxboro Road area and the amenities around the University of Limerick and south-city suburbs. Rathbane suits people seeking a practical, well-connected base near Limerick city rather than a village-style setting, with Raheen, Ballinacurra and the city centre all within easy reach.
