About Bishopston
Bishopston is a quiet neighbourhood in Swansea where crime rates sit well below the UK average and keep dropping year on year. It's popular with buyers looking for houses rather than flats, and it's got well-regarded state primary and comprehensive schools. You'll find four pubs, five sports centres and two local parks here, which gives the neighbourhood a sociable, active vibe. There's a hospital in the neighbourhood, and the A48 gives you reasonable driving access to the city centre. Public transport is limited though, so it's worth checking what's available before you move. Living costs run slightly below the UK average, partly because transport spending is lower. It's a settled, family-friendly neighbourhood that works well for people who value space, safety and schools over being in the thick of urban life.
