New homes under the Affordable Housing Scheme soon to be on offer in Rush

Fingal County Council has announced that applications are set to open for the purchase of over 50 new homes in Hayestown, Rush under the Affordable Housing Scheme.

Homes on offer under the scheme will be a mix of two and three-bedroom houses.

Located a short distance from Rush town centre near the Fingal coastline, the new properties at Hayestown form part of development on a site approximately six acres in size.

“Rush is located close to the heart of market gardening in Leinster and enjoys easy access to Dublin with a regular train service to Dublin city centre, making it an ideal commuter town,” FCC says.

Construction of the new homes at Hayestown is already underway with all of the houses expected to be completed in 2024.

The online application portal for those seeking to purchase one of the homes will go live at 12pm on Tuesday June 13, 2023.

The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Howard Mahony welcomed today’s announcement, saying: “Affordable housing is the cornerstone of a thriving community that can help empower individuals and families, and help to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to build a brighter future.

“I believe that every resident deserves a safe and comfortable home they can call their own – by nurturing the spirit of affordability in developments like Hayestown, we can help pave the way for inclusivity, stability, and importantly, give people a roof over their head.”
