Blessington ED Rent Prices in County Wicklow 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of €26.5/m², the price point is steep for a town that still feels like a work in progress. We've classified this as THE_GRID because the market is tight, options are sparse, and you're essentially paying a 'commuter tax' to live near the lake. The investment outlook is stagnant until more stock hits the market, so don't expect a bargain in this current climate.
The Vibe:Blessington is a functional commuter town where the N81 serves as the main artery for people fleeing Dublin's price hikes. It’s a mix of lakeside scenery and a grit-your-teeth traffic reality during the morning rush. Most of the action centers around the town square, dominated by people who value proximity to the Wicklow Mountains over a late-night social scene.
The median rent price in Blessington ED, County Wicklow is €26.5 per m² per month, 9% below the County Wicklow city average of €29/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Is the average rent of €26.5/m² reliable?
Take it with a grain of salt as it’s based on limited neighborhood-specific data points; one high-end lakeside house can easily inflate the stats.
What is the investment outlook for Blessington rentals?
It's a low-yield play for now due to the high entry cost and limited turnover of rental stock.
How does the m² stats compare to Naas or Tallaght?
You’re paying close to Dublin suburban prices here but without the Luas or high-frequency rail links.
Why is the neighborhood analysis score only 3.0?
The rating reflects the 'THE_GRID' status—good scenery and basic services, but a total lack of rental variety and heavy traffic congestion.
Are there many modern apartments available?
Hardly any; the market is mostly older semi-detached houses or cottage conversions that rarely stay vacant for more than 48 hours.
