Kilmeadan Rent Prices in County Waterford 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of €22/m², Kilmeadan sits squarely in THE_GRID, offering a functional trade-off between price and utility. While the upper end of the €26.5/m² range feels aggressive for a village still waiting on the redevelopment of the old Glanbia site, the neighborhood analysis shows steady demand from the nearby IDA industrial parks. It’s a solid, predictable rental market where you pay for convenience rather than character.
The Vibe:Kilmeadan functions primarily as a logistical anchor for Waterford commuters, defined by its position on the N25 bypass and the constant flow of cyclists hitting the Waterford Greenway. The physical landscape is a mix of older roadside cottages and mid-sized estates that prioritize driveway space over aesthetic flair. It is a pragmatic choice for people who want to be five minutes from the city limits without actually dealing with city traffic.
The median rent price in Kilmeadan, County Waterford is €22 per m² per month, 1% below the County Waterford city average of €22.25/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Is the €22/m² average rent justified?
Only if you value your time; the proximity to the N25 means you're saving an hour a week in traffic compared to living further west.
What is the investment outlook for Kilmeadan rentals?
Extremely stable but low-growth, as it relies on the workforce from Butlerstown and the city outskirts rather than local industry.
Can I live here without a car?
Not realistically. While the 362 and 366 buses pass through, they aren't frequent enough to replace a private vehicle for daily life.
Where is the best value in the area?
Look for older builds just off the main road that haven't been priced into the 'Greenway premium' yet.
Is noise from the bypass a dealbreaker?
In the newer estates, no, but if you're renting a roadside cottage, expect a constant 100km/h hum as part of the background noise.
