SA1 1LA House Prices & Local Information

SA1 1LA is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.1km from Alexandra in Swansea. Administratively it sits within Castle ward and the Swansea West constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, SA1 1LA is a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. By day, the area transitions to a public administration and security character: public administration and security with mainly white workforces. An average age of 42 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 84% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 13% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (323 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.
