UPPER GENDROS CRESCENT, SA5 8DY House Prices & Local Information

SA5 8DY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Upper Gendros Crescent, 0.5km from Cwmdu in Swansea. Administratively it sits within Cockett ward and the Swansea West constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, SA5 8DY is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. An average age of 39 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 30% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 43 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £151k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 62.3% year-on-year. 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.
