About Raheen
Raheen is a well-established suburban area on Limerick’s southern edge, around the R526 and close to Ballinacurra and Rathbane. It has a practical, residential character, with housing estates, employment areas and everyday services close together rather than a traditional village centre. The area is particularly convenient for commuters to Raheen Business Park, University Hospital Limerick and the wider southside, while Limerick city centre is reachable by frequent bus services and the R510 or R526 road corridors. Schooling locally includes the Midwest School for the Deaf, with further primary and secondary options available in nearby Dooradoyle, Ballykeeffe and the city suburbs. Residents have supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, takeaways and casual restaurants around the Crescent Shopping Centre and Raheen, while pubs and more extensive dining are found in nearby Dooradoyle and city-centre areas. Leisure is supported by local sports clubs, gyms and playing fields, with larger green spaces such as Mungret Park and the University of Limerick campus accessible by car. Overall, Raheen suits households seeking straightforward access to employment, schools, healthcare and shopping, with suburban quiet balanced by good road connections.
