Property Cardiff
Cardiff is a vibrant capital city which has been transformed over the last 20 years into a leading location for business and leisure. There is a vast array of properties in Cardiff from studio flats to large detached houses, plenty of choice for all types of tenants.
Location
Some of the most attractive areas of Cardiff are located to the north of the city centre such as Cyncoed and Radyr. Cyncoed is known for its large Victorian houses in the area around Roath Park. Raydr is almost a small town unto itself and certainly has that atmosphere. It is linked to the city centre by frequent train and bus services. Llandaff is famous for its cathedral and is only a short walk from Pontcanna Fields and the Taff Trail. From here it is possible to walk all the way through the parks to the city centre. This area - Bute Park, Blackweir and Pontcanna Fields are a major attraction for Cardiff city living. This huge public area on the banks of the River Taff attracts runners, walkers, fishermen and families enjoying a weekend stroll. There are also football and rugby pitches. Adjacent to Bute Park is Sophia Gardens, the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club and their fantastic new stadium. This is one of three magnificant stadiums in the city, the other two being the Millennium Stadium and the newly built Cardiff City Stadium - home to the Cardiff Blues and Cardiff City F.C.
More Affordable
Modern more affordable housing can be found in areas such as Pontprennau and Thornhill. These locations are ideally placed close to the M4 motorway and were developed in the last twenty years to accommodate an ever expanding city. For those people looking for more traditional houses at an affordable price then Fairwater offers 1930’s housing and Grangetown is largely terraced houses built around 1900.
