Roath
Roath is one of the
most picturesque areas in Cardiff, featuring its very own lighthouse in the
beautiful Roath Park. The area is known for its tree-lined avenues and charming
Victorian-era terraced streets. There is a variety of local amenities,
churches, shops, restaurants, and public houses. Roath is a very popular place
to live, with great transport links in and around Cardiff.
The area is home to a
diverse population, including a large number of students due to its proximity
to the main university campuses, a significant ethnic minority community, and
many young professionals. Parts of Roath are among the most affluent districts
in Cardiff popular with families, although the subdivision of large Victorian
properties is becoming more common in the southern parts of the district.
Roath feels like a
small city centre, packed with restaurants, shops, hairdressers, salons, cafes,
and banks. Albany Road, its main shopping street, features numerous charity
shops, Boots pharmacy, the Post Office, Peacocks, and express stores like
Tesco, Sainsbury's, Iceland, and Home Bargains.
City Road is one of
the most diverse streets in Cardiff, home to Cardiff and Vale College, a wide
mix of ethnic shops, pubs like the Wetherspoons 'The Ernest Willows' and
trendy coffee shops.
Finally, Wellfield
Road is home to some of Cardiff's best independently run boutiques, such as
'Tea & Cake' and 'Errol Willy' hairdresser.

Why 2Let2 Cardiff Letting Agents love Roath:
'The best thing about Roath is the park. Walking along the lake and the tree lined paths is one of my favourite things to do on a Sunday. Grabbing a coffee and cake from the independent cafe on the water or even stopping for an ice cream from one of the local vendors when the weather gets warm. There are also plenty of places to stop and have a picnic or short walks to local pubs'
