SINGLETON PARK, SA2 8PY House Prices & Local Information

SA2 8PY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Singleton Park, 0.5km from Singleton in Swansea. Administratively it sits within Sketty ward and the Swansea West constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. With an average age of just 23, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 69% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 41 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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.

Census 2021 statistics for SA2 8PY are sourced from Output Area W00010073 (shared with 27 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
