John Hume officially opened the Rathkeale Office in 2004. May he rest in peace.
The average residential property value in Rathkeale is €139,361 (100+ PSRA registered sales) making homes relatively affordable compared to Adare (€284,734), Patrickswell (€182,055), and the Limerick County average (€163,329.) On the other hand, Rathkeale’s average is more expensive than Ballingarry, Askeaton, Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale.
The 61% of Rathkeale residents who own their own home might look at the numbers believing that their biggest investment has room to appreciate when Rathkeale rejuvenates.
Best of luck to our minor hurlers who take on Drom\Broadford this evening in The Bog Garden. Throw in Time is 7.00pm.
