Llanedeyrn in Cardiff
Living in Llanedeyrn
Cardiff 017 sits in the mid-range of Cardiff's neighbourhoods — neither the city's most central nor its most suburban, but functional and settled in character. Around one in four residents is under 18, which gives the area a distinctly family-oriented feel compared with the student-heavy inner-city zones. It's the kind of neighbourhood where most people drive to work rather than taking public transport, with over half of residents commuting by car.
On cost, it's a reasonably affordable corner of Cardiff. The median house price here is around £200,600 — and with a deposit-to-income ratio of roughly 3.1 years, it's one of the more achievable parts of Wales for first-time buyers. Renters, though, will feel the squeeze: at around 56% of typical take-home pay going on rent, it's a stretch, and that's not unusual across Cardiff's catchment area.
The demographic mix is fairly settled. Around a third of households are single-person, which is fairly typical for Welsh urban areas. Degree-level qualifications are held by about 24% of residents — below the Cardiff average for more central, professional districts, but the neighbourhood has a stable working population with a median salary of around £32,800. The unemployment claimant rate sits at 3.9%, which is moderate.
Practically speaking, the nearest mainline rail station is about 1,970 metres away — roughly a 25-minute walk, so most residents drive or cycle. The nearest major UK employment hub is around 25 minutes away. Green space is close: the nearest park or open space is under 400 metres from a typical address, and about a quarter of the neighbourhood sits within easy walking distance of greenspace.
