Living in Llandaf North
Cardiff 023 sits in a part of Cardiff where families and established households are well represented — over one in five households includes a couple with children, and nearly a quarter of residents are under 18. That family-oriented character shapes the feel of the area: quieter than the city's student-heavy inner zones, with a more settled, residential pace.
Rents here are towards the affordable end of the Cardiff spectrum. A two-bedroom home runs about £1,070 a month, which is modestly below the UK national median of around £1,200. A three-bedroom, if space is the priority, comes in at roughly £1,190. With a median sale price just over £280,000 and a deposit-saving horizon of around 4.3 years on local earnings, it's one of the more attainable corners of the Welsh capital.
The demographic picture here is fairly mixed across age groups — no single cohort dominates, with the 18–34, 35–49 and under-18 brackets all sitting between 20–23% of residents. Nearly a third of residents hold a degree-level qualification, slightly above what you'd find in many similar residential suburbs. The ethnic diversity index sits at 28, and around 89% of residents were born in the UK, giving it a broadly settled community feel.
For getting around, most residents drive — close to half commute by car — while working from home accounts for roughly three in ten. The nearest mainline rail station is about 980 metres away, a roughly 12-minute walk, putting wider Cardiff and longer-distance destinations like London (around 2 hours 7 minutes by rail) within reach. For daily connectivity, the area has 100% gigabit broadband coverage, which makes it well-placed for hybrid working.
