Rushmere St Andrew lies to the north‑east of Ipswich, in the district of East Suffolk in Suffolk, England. The parish mixes suburban housing with open heathland and parkland, notably Rushmere Heath, so it feels distinctly rural despite its proximity to the town and the coast.
Historically an agricultural area that expanded with 20th‑century housing, the community is centred on its historic St Andrew's Church and a modest local shopping area; recreational life includes clubs, sports teams and Rushmere Golf Club. Economically many residents commute into Ipswich, while a parish council and active community groups keep a strong local identity.
