CF10 1BU House Prices & Local Information

CF10 1BU is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.6km from Cathays Park in Cardiff. Administratively it sits within Cathays ward and the Cardiff Central constituency.

For renters and young professionals, CF10 1BU offers a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. Outside of residential hours, big city services, with accommodation and food. The predominance of young residents (average age 24) gives the area its energy — expect active social scenes, short tenancies, and regular neighbourhood turnover. 78% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 53% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Cardiff.

Safety: Crime rates are high (772 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
