Grantstown Neighbourhood Guide
Waterford
About Grantstown
Grantstown is a mainly suburban residential area in south-east Waterford, close to the Dunmore Road, Ballygunner and Cork Road corridors. It has a settled, family-oriented character, with housing estates and everyday services within easy reach of Waterford city centre. St. Mary’s National School Ballygunner serves local families, while secondary schools and further education options are available elsewhere in the city. The area is well placed for commuting by car, with the outer parts of the city and the N25 accessible via the Cork Road and nearby road network; regular city bus services also connect Grantstown and the Dunmore Road with the centre. Local shopping is concentrated around nearby neighbourhood centres and the Dunmore Road, with larger supermarkets and retail parks a short drive away. Residents can use Woodland Leisure Centre Swimming Pool and the wider network of sports facilities, parks and walking routes around Ballygunner and the River Suir. Bars, cafés and restaurants are more plentiful along the Dunmore Road and into central Waterford, while local clubs and community organisations provide plenty of sporting and social activity.
