SY16 1DL House Prices & Local Information

SY16 1DL is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.9km from Pen-y-Glodfa in Newtown (Powys). Administratively it sits within Newtown East ward and the Montgomeryshire constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a mature area with an older, predominantly retired population. Work and footfall patterns mark this as a traditional high streets zone — traditional high streets with some larger stores, mostly employees. This is a stable, socially diverse area (average age 44) — accessible for a wide range of households, from young families to empty nesters. 58% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 63 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. 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.
