Limerick council launches 'rightsizing' apartment scheme for over 55s in bid to free up family homes
The apartment scheme at Woodlawn Park in Ballysimon is mix of one- and two-bed homes on both ground-floor and first-floor levels.
Limerick City and County Council is encouraging older people looking to downsize their home to apply for a new scheme offering a “lifetime tenancy”, while freeing up larger homes to return to the squeezed market.
A development of 15 apartments will be available from the end of September at Woodlawn Park in Ballysimon, with the council saying it is geared towards people aged 55 and over who own their own home, find their home too large for their needs, and are willing to sell on the private market.
