Guide to Living in Cardiff Bay

Living in Cardiff Bay

Cardiff Bay is a lively social hub all year around, but that really comes to life during the summer when the bars, restaurants, shows, boat trips and social spaces bustle with locals and visitors alike. Boasting many of Cardiff’s well-known landmark buildings and often featuring as the backdrop to the Welsh news, Cardiff Bay is unmistakably recognisable.

This tourist hotspot is popular with young professionals as well as those looking to spend their retirement overlooking the water. Just a short walk from the City Centre, Cardiff Bay is an ideal destination for those looking to be close to the hustle and bustle of the city but enjoy the serenity of the waterside at the end of the day.

Cardiff Bay has changed considerably over the last 20 years and mainly comprises both affordable and luxury waterfront apartments. There are developments for all needs too, with converted and purpose-built apartment blocks, townhouses, and much larger gated communities, in some cases offering a concierge service, swimming pool and gym.
