Affordable Housing in North County Dublin
Fingal County Council is making 16 homes available for sale throughout North County Dublin under Affordable Housing Purchase Arrangements.

The homes available for purchase are located in the following Developments: Millers Glen, Swords (6 houses); Mooretown, Swords (2 houses); Station Road, Lusk (3 houses); The Paddocks, Donabate (3 houses); and College Avenue, Belcamp (2 houses).

These homes will be available at a reduced price for buyers who are seeking to purchase a newly built home but need to bridge the gap between their mortgage and deposit to cover the full price of the home.
