The development is located near Rush town centre, close to the scenic Fingal coastline. Rush offers convenient access to Dublin through a regular train service, making it an attractive choice for commuters.
Hayestown spans approximately six acres and forms part of an ongoing development. Construction of the new homes in Hayestown is already underway, and the entire development is expected to be completed by 2024.
Expressing his support for the initiative, the Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Howard Mahony, said: “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.”
Robert Burns, Director of Housing, added: “I am delighted that Hayestown will soon be able to help 52 new homeowners gain access to the market with affordable, sustainable and secure homes in a highly desirable location. Fingal continues to increase the number of permanent and high-quality homes being constructed for residents. In doing so, we are not only helping to support a range of needs and circumstances, but also meet growing demand for different types of housing across the County.”
The online application portal for those interested in purchasing one of these affordable homes will go live on Tuesday, June 13 at 12pm.
These affordable prices have been made possible through the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF), which provides subsidies to local authorities from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. This funding allows local authorities to offer homes for purchase or rent at significantly reduced prices, making them more affordable compared to market rates.
