About Fairwater
Fairwater's housing is genuinely affordable. Terraces average £163,500 and detached homes £309,400 — prices that sit between neighbouring Coed Eva and Two Locks. Crime's dropped significantly, falling from 81.5 to 57.1 per 1,000 people, which puts it well below the UK average. You'll also spend about £47 a month less on living costs than the national average.
Families get good support here. There are three primary schools and Cwmbran High School all within the neighbourhood, plus two playgrounds and a sports centre. The A470 makes it straightforward to reach Cardiff and the Valleys by car. Walking's well catered for with local footpaths.
The trade-off is that public transport and healthcare facilities are more limited — you'll often find them just outside the neighbourhood boundary rather than on your doorstep.
