MAES DERWEN, SY21 0BB House Prices & Local Information

SY21 0BB is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Maes Derwen, 0.5km from Llanfair Caereinion in Llanfair Caereinion. Administratively it sits within Llanfair Caereinion and Llanerfyl ward and the Montgomeryshire constituency.

For families considering a move, SY21 0BB represents a diverse rural area with a mix of families, workers and retirees. By day, the area transitions to a traditional countryside character: mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. An average age of 40 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 62% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 3 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £129k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 132.8% 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.
