PEN Y CEI, SY23 1BS House Prices & Local Information

SY23 1BS is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Pen Y Cei, 0.3km from Trefechan in Aberystwyth. Administratively it sits within Aberystwyth Rheidol ward and the Ceredigion constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a family suburb with many younger renters, often with small children. The daytime character shifts — mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. With an average age of 48, this is established family country — quiet streets, strong community ties, and low rental churn. 80% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 65 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: Average house prices are around £225k, up 8.2% 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.
