2026 in Limerick so far
Limerick has had nine listings on the national portal and only two of them were cost rental, both from Circle Voluntary Housing at The Mills in Castletroy: eight three-beds at €1,278 in July 2024 and two more at €1,332 in May 2026. No other housing body or the LDA has advertised cost rental in the county yet, so the €59,000 net income limit is not the constraint here; supply is. A €1,332 rent needs about €45,700 net a year under the 35% rule.
Limerick City and County Council has done the rest, all affordable purchase and mostly in Newcastle West and Castletroy. Newcastle West: 21 three-beds at Woodfield Manor (from €250,000, February 2024), Castle Place in three releases (3 homes from €361,337 in December 2024, 10 from €295,087 in December 2025, 23 three-beds from €319,047 in August 2026) and three at Carraig Desmond (from €229,171, June 2025). Castletroy: 12 three-beds at Brú na Gruadán (from €262,500, August 2024) and six at Newtown Meadows (from €336,702, February 2026). Expect the same two towns to keep producing council purchase schemes, and watch The Mills for the occasional re-let.
