Living in Cathays
Cathays is a vibrant and well-connected part of Cardiff, popular with students, professionals, and young families. Its blend of period housing, independent cafés, leafy parks, and proximity to the city centre makes it a consistently desirable location. Gelligaer Gardens itself is a quieter residential street, yet you re just moments from the buzz of Crwys Road, access to Maindy Leisure Centre, and excellent public transport links. It s also within walking distance of Cardiff University, Heath Hospital, and the city centre ideal for commuters or academics.
