About Cathays
Cathays is right next to Cardiff University, with great transport connections, loads of restaurants and cafés, and living costs below the UK average. Student rentals and shared houses dominate here, so flats are among the cheapest around and terraces are priced similarly to neighbouring neighbourhoods. This makes it ideal if you're after an affordable city base or an investment property rather than family space. Crime rates are higher than average, but they're dropping steadily. Schools and healthcare sit mostly just outside the neighbourhood, though they're easy to get to.
