Cork City Suburbs - Are these them?

RantorRave

I am doing an excerise that outlines the main suburbs of Cork City, outside centre of city. Two questions;
1. Am I missing any from list below?
2. Should any be merged or part of same area?

Ballyphehane
Bishopstown
Blackpool
Blackrock
Douglas
Mahon
Mayfield
Monkstown
Rochestown
Sundays Well
Wilton

Your best bet is to look up daft.ie. For example, choose a letting in Cork City, then click "More Search Options". There's a list of suburbs there.

Ludo

As Faith sadi...use DAFT or even MyHome.ie to get a more complete list. You are missing loads.

I'd say it will be very difficult to get a full list unless you get onto someone in City Hall.

Here's another few for your list. The last four are towns not far from the boundary but fast becoming suburbs. Kind of like Blanchardstown or Tyrellstown is to Dublin.

Ballinlough
Ballintemple
Ballyvolane
Curraheen
Donnybrook
Frankfield
Glanmire
Glasheen
Grange
Hollyhill
Lehenaghmore
Little Island
Montenotte
Shanakiel
Tivoli
The Glen
Togher
Silversprings
Knocknaheeny


Tower
Blarney
Carrigaline
Ballincollig

Go onto Cork City Council website. They state the areas they cover.

Silversprings is a housing estate not a suburb. It should be included as a part of Mayfield or Tivoli

lostinsuperfunk

I wouldn't use daft. Until recently Bere Island showed up as a suburb of Cork city on that site.

I'm sure the residents would suggest Tivoli:D

Still part of the "Cork Metropolitan Area" though

I think u'd have to consider Blarney, Glanmire and Ballincollig as suburbs of Cork, i dont know whatelse u'd classify them as if they weren't. They are all less than 15 mins drives from the city centre and the majority of people who live there work in the city and are dependant on the city.

They are not part of the city but they are most definetly suburbs.

Satellite Towns!!!!

just came across this message,
its a common misconception about togher
togher is a collection of townlands including gurran dara,lehanaghmore,doughcloyne,deanrock,kilreendowny and ashgrove.
during the boom builders willingly left out the name togher to get more money for houses. lehanaghmore, wilton or doughcloyne, wilton exists cos people refuse to put togher on there address.
anyone who doesnt believe me, its on the deeds of every house within its boundaries.
wilton on the other hand was a tiny farm, it expanded through snobbery of address.
lehanaghmore,ashgrove, deanrock,kilreendowny, gurran dara and doughcloyne all fall under the suburb of Togher

Dunno about that to be honest, for a start Kilreendowny is in Ballyphehane not Togher. Seems as your wrong there I wonder about the rest of your post.

The Lough is also a suburb forgotten about by everyone for some reason. Don't people go to Lennox's anymore

Yeah kilreendowny is actually in Ballyphehane. Deanrock was never considered as a place on its own and is only the name of an estate. And saying you live in Togher would probably be better than saying you live in Deanrock as the area doesn't have a great name itself. Wilton is a split between Togher and Bishopstown but there isn't really any defined line as i've ever seen.

You had Rochestown and Monkstown in the list.......







Like most people you were hoping that Passage would fall into the sea;)

yeah, technically, they are all outside the city boundary which hasn't changed for the last 825 years

kilreendowny if you look at history records is part of togher but has become to accepted as part of ballyphehane.
i have done extensive history on cork suburbs.
deanrock actually is a townname and it didnt just come to exist over the housing estate, the deanrock pub was there long before the deanrock estate, technically westside estate is part of deanrock, greenwood is part of lehenaghmore inside togher, it can get quiet complicated. togher actually stretches as far as the airport in taking in ashgrove.

Dude, it's 2010 ffs

eh place names stay the same doesnt matter if its 1900 or 2010, you dont see parts of county limerick spreading into county clare, thus dimenishing its size

Does anyone remember a couple of years back Joe Gavin, city manager was talkin about extending the city boundary and taking in half of Cork? Any one have any idea what happened to that plan?

Limerick City has spread into Clare

yeah but that part of the city is controlled by clare county council and is within the clare county boundaries, as is parts of kildare that are counted are part of dublin, there address is still county kildare


plus read the post you quoted, it says county not city
