Show more "Rathmore Manor provides apartment accommodation in a quiet, leafy, mature setting in a beautiful part of Newtownabbey. The secluded gardens have recently undergone significant improvements, including through the planting of many new trees and shrubs. Along with a spacious common room inside, these are great places to socialise with fellow residents or host guests.

Many Rathmore tenants get involved in the wider life of the scheme, from attending regular coffee mornings to joining in gardening projects.

Rathmore Manor residents benefit from an on-site Scheme Co-ordinator. Tenants can also access 24-7 support through the Radius Connect 24 service." Show less
