Open Homes workspaceAbout Craigavon
Craigavon was planned in the 1960s as a new city for Northern Ireland, intended to link and expand the older towns of Lurgan and Portadown. Named after Lord Craigavon, it was designed with roads, housing areas, lakes and green space, though it developed differently from the original vision. The Craigavon Lakes, Rushmere shopping area and nearby employment zones are now central to the area. Its rental market is shaped by affordability, family housing and access to jobs across Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon.
