Limerick is undergoing a massive urban transformation driven by the Opera Square project, though a chronic supply shortage continues to squeeze the residential market. With buy prices averaging €3206/m², the city remains a value-driven alternative to Dublin, even as professional demand pushes rents to a steep €25.25/m². While new developments in the suburbs are promising, they haven't yet cooled the red-hot competition for city-fringe properties. Verdict: Limerick is a high-growth 'buy' for long-term investors, but remains a challenging 'wait-and-see' for budget-conscious renters.
