Killowen Neighbourhood Guide
Waterford
About Killowen
Killowen is a mainly residential area on Waterford’s southern side, within the wider X91 urban area and close to Cork Road, Ballygunner and Grantstown. It has a settled suburban character, with housing estates and access to the city’s everyday services, while the coast and countryside around Tramore and Dunmore East are within easy reach by car. Residents generally use nearby Waterford city and Ballygunner for schools, shopping, healthcare and leisure rather than relying on a separate village centre. Cork Road provides convenient access towards Waterford city centre, while the N25 and wider road network support commuting towards the city, New Ross and surrounding County Waterford. Local cafés, takeaways, pubs and restaurants are concentrated along Cork Road, in Ballygunner and across the city, giving residents a broad choice without a long journey. Grace Dieu Manor Retreat House Conference Centre and Community Residence is a notable local landmark and community facility. Families also benefit from nearby primary and secondary schools, sports clubs and parks, with Tramore’s beaches and amenities adding attractive weekend and leisure options.
