Three Cardiff property experts have revealed the best place for people in their 30s to live in the capital. The city can offer facilities and amenities to its residents of all ages, but if you are about to embark on a family or are keen to locate your nest in one of the leafy suburbs, are there particular areas that attract more buyer demand than others?
School catchment areas are a significant driving force for families, creating house moves around the city. But these popular areas can also offer a lifestyle that certainly appeals to thirtysomethings with no children looking for the best suburban spot for a busy social life and thriving community.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) the 2021 census shows that the population of Cardiff has increased by 4.7% from around 346,100 in 2011 to 362,400 in 2021. This is higher than the overall increase for Wales (1.4%), where the population grew by 44,000 to 3,107,500. According to Stats Wales data compiled in June 2021, Cardiff at that time had 61,111 people age 16-24 living in the city and 108,155 within the 25-45 age bracket, although a smaller breakdown of this group is not available.
