Boher Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Boher
Boher is a small, predominantly rural locality in east County Limerick, centred around the R513 corridor between Annacotty and Cappamore, with Murroe, Caherconlish, Castletroy and Pallasgreen nearby. It has a quiet countryside character, with one-off homes, farms and village-style community life rather than a dense built-up centre. Residents generally rely on surrounding towns and villages for a wider range of schools, shops, healthcare and everyday services. Primary-school provision is available in nearby communities, while secondary and third-level options are concentrated around Limerick city and its eastern suburbs. The R513 provides the main road connection towards Limerick, Cappamore and the wider east Limerick area, while the M7 and N24 can be reached for longer-distance travel; regular public transport is more limited than in Castletroy or the city. Local social life is centred on community facilities, GAA activity and nearby village pubs, with further restaurants, cafés and supermarkets available in Annacotty, Castletroy and Limerick. Outdoor recreation is a strong feature, with the surrounding countryside, the nearby River Mulcair valley and access to trails and amenities around Murroe and Cappamore. Limerick city centre, University of Limerick and the National Technology Park are within practical commuting distance by car, making Boher attractive to households seeking a rural setting close to the city.
