5 Reasons to Choose Copper Close as Your Next Home
Set in the heart of Kilbarry on the outskirts of Waterford City, Copper Close is more than just a new homes development, it’s a place to live, grow, and thrive. With thoughtfully designed A-rated homes and a location that offers the best of both urban and suburban living, here are five compelling reasons to make Copper Close your next move.
1. Schools, Schools, Schools
From early years right up to third level, Copper Close is surrounded by some of Waterford’s best educational facilities. Local pre-schools include Baile Beag, Kidz Inc, and Acorns Early Years, while standout primary options include St. Paul’s, St. Ursula’s, and Educate Together NS.
There’s also a wide range of respected secondary schools such as Waterpark College, Newtown School, and De La Salle College.
And when it’s time for third level? You’re just minutes from South East Technological University (SETU) – easily accessible by car, bike, or on foot.
2. A-Rated Homes for Smarter Living
All homes at Copper Close come with an A energy rating, designed to keep your home warm in winter, cool in summer, and light on your bills all year round.
These energy-efficient features include:
- High-grade air-to-water heat pumps
- Smart glazing to retain heat and light
- High-performance floor, wall, and roof insulation
- Modern heat recovery ventilation systems
On top of comfort and savings, an A-rated home may qualify you for a green mortgage rate, meaning you could lock in a lower interest rate for even more monthly savings.
3. Government Schemes That Work for You
As a first-time buyer, you may be eligible for both the Help to Buy and First Home Scheme, two powerful tools to make homeownership more accessible.
- Help to Buy: Claim up to €30,000 back from Revenue as part of your deposit.
- First Home Scheme: Receive up to 30% of the property value (or 20% if using HTB) through this shared equity scheme.
4. Part of a Thriving Community
Copper Close is the newest phase of the successful Summerfields masterplan, following in the footsteps of Brindle Close and Elder Walk. These earlier phases have already become home to a diverse, growing community of homeowners.
That means when you move in, you’re not starting from scratch – you’re joining an already-vibrant neighbourhood with local roots and a sense of place.
5. Everything You Need is on Your Doorstep
Copper Close isn’t just about the home – it’s about lifestyle. You’ll have cafés like Press & Code, multiple gyms, and shopping options just minutes away. And whether you’re commuting or exploring, you’re ideally placed:
- 4 minutes to SETU
- 5 minutes to the IDA Business Park
- 10 minutes to University Hospital Waterford
- 10 minutes to city centre shopping and dining
- 8 minutes to the Waterford Greenway
- 15 minutes to Tramore and Dunmore East
It’s the definition of a 15-minute neighbourhood, where everything from wellness to work to weekend plans is within easy reach.
