Local facts
What's different about Castletroy
Castletroy is the newest of the big Limerick suburbs: 7.2% of homes in its electoral division were built before 1971, against 32% across the city and suburbs. With the university on its doorstep, 35% of households rent from a private landlord, the most of any area on this site (CSO figures, our comparison). What we checked:
- Castletroy falls in the CSO's Ballysimon electoral division: every point we checked in Castletroy, Monaleen and the University of Limerick campus lands in it (CSO electoral division boundaries 2022, our lookups on 30 October 2026). Ballysimon had 16,540 people and 5,566 households at the 2022 census, 85% of them in a house (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics by electoral division).
- 70% of the division's homes were built in 1991 or later and 7.2% before 1971; 555 date from 2016 or later (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics by electoral division).
- 61% of homes heat with natural gas, 25% with oil and 12% with electricity (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics by electoral division).
- Uisce Éireann's zone map puts Castletroy in the Limerick City Environs supply zone, where 41 results from 2022 to 2025 have a median of 250 mg/l: moderately hard, at the edge of hard (Uisce Éireann hardness results, 2022–2025).
- In late 2021 Uisce Éireann replaced over 2,360 m of problem water mains on the Peafield Road, the Monaleen Road and the Newtown Road, in an area it said had a high frequency of bursts. Lead service connections on the public side were replaced at the same time (Uisce Éireann).
- The division takes in rural land on the city's edge too: 484 households had their own septic tank and 93 a private water supply on census night (CSO Census 2022).
Renting? A leak or a broken boiler is usually the landlord's to fix, so tell them as well as the plumber. Own the house? In homes of this age the jobs are usually a shower pump, an immersion element or a cylinder thermostat, and a gas boiler service is RGI-only work.
