Killowen Neighbourhood Guide
Waterford
About Killowen
Killowen is a mainly residential area on Waterford city’s eastern side, within easy reach of the Cork Road, Ballygunner and the coastbound route towards Dunmore East and Tramore. It has a settled suburban feel, with homes, local roads and open countryside or green edges nearby rather than a busy town-centre atmosphere. Day-to-day shopping, cafés, restaurants and services are generally found along the Cork Road and in Waterford city, while larger retail and leisure choices are available at nearby shopping areas. Families have access to schools in Ballygunner, the city and surrounding suburbs, with further secondary and third-level education in Waterford. Commuters are well placed for Waterford city, the IDA and business areas around the city’s eastern and southern approaches, although a car is particularly useful for many journeys from Killowen. Local bus services operate on nearby city and suburban corridors, and Waterford railway station and the national road network provide wider connections. The area also benefits from proximity to the coast, including Dunmore East and Tramore, while Grace Dieu Manor Retreat House Conference Centre and Community Residence is a notable nearby landmark and community facility.
