About Gaer
Gaer sits on Newport's western edge and offers genuinely affordable housing. Detached homes average £333,700 and flats start from £119,700 — both cheaper than the neighbourhoods around it. Crime has dropped sharply and now sits below the UK average, which is a real improvement for the area.
You'll find everything you need for day-to-day living here. There are plenty of supermarkets, post offices and pharmacies dotted around, so shopping and errands are straightforward.
If you've got kids, you've got good school options nearby. You can choose from primary schools, faith schools and Welsh-medium schools depending on what works for your family.
Living costs are below the national average overall. Transport and groceries are cheaper here than in most places, which adds up over time.
Getting around by car is easy — the A48 connects you to Cardiff and the M4 without fuss. Public transport is limited though, so this neighbourhood really suits drivers. If you rely on buses or trains, you'll find your options more restricted.
