About Maugheraboy
Maugheraboy is a mainly residential area on the southern side of Sligo town, close to the city centre and adjoining Knocknahur and wider West Sligo. It combines established housing with newer suburban development, while the surrounding landscape quickly opens towards the Ox Mountains and south Sligo countryside. Residents are within easy reach of Sligo’s schools, shops, services and employment areas, although many households rely on a car for local journeys.

The area is well placed for leisure, with Sligo Sport and Recreation Partnership facilities, Doorly Park and the Garavogue River all accessible from the wider town area.
