About Roxboro
Roxboro is a predominantly residential area on the south side of Limerick city, close to Janesboro, Rathbane and the wider Dooradoyle corridor. It has an established suburban feel, with mature housing, schools and everyday services within a short journey of the city centre. Families are well served by nearby primary and secondary education, including schools in Janesboro, Ballynanty and the south-city suburbs. City bus services run through the surrounding neighbourhoods, while the N24 and M7 provide practical road connections for commuting beyond Limerick. Roxboro itself is mainly convenience-led, with local shops and services, while a broader choice of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and pubs is available in nearby city-centre and south-side districts. Residents can reach the Crescent Shopping Centre, University Hospital Limerick and Limerick city centre by car or bus, with parks and sports facilities also available locally. The area is particularly convenient for access to the Roxboro Shopping Centre and Roxboro Road, and it benefits from proximity to established clubs and community facilities around Janesboro and Rathbane.
