Cattedown sits close to Plymouth's waterfront and city centre, benefiting from the mix of character found across the surrounding Sutton and Mount Gould, St Peter and the Waterfront, Efford and Lipson, and Drake neighbourhoods. House prices here are genuinely accessible, with terraces averaging around £213,000 and flats closer to £133,000 to £183,000, making it a strong option for first-time buyers and those priced out of pricier parts of the city. You're well placed for everyday life too, with restaurants, bars, cafés and shops all within walking distance, plus decent healthcare provision including GP practices and a nearby hospital. Families are well catered for, with Outstanding-rated schools like Prince Rock Primary on the doorstep and several Good-rated options nearby. Green space comes courtesy of the six parks scattered across the wider area, and transport links are solid, with good bus and road connections plus easy access to Plymouth's railway station and ferry services. Living costs run below the UK average across the board, helped by lower council tax, utilities and transport costs, though you'll pay a bit more for groceries in some pockets. Crime has fallen consistently through 2026 across every neighbourhood that borders Cattedown, with rates now sitting below the national average, and low pollution levels add to the appeal of outdoor city living. The main variation you'll notice is property type: flats dominate near the waterfront, while terraces and semis are more common further out towards Efford and Lipson. Whether you want a central, walkable lifestyle or a quieter residential feel with easy access to amenities, Cattedown and its surrounding areas offer good value without sacrificing connectivity or community feel.
