Newport is a lively city situated on the banks of the River Usk, just a short distance from Cardiff to the southwest and the England–Wales border to the northeast. Its convenient location and strong transport links are a major draw for many residents – particularly those commuting to nearby urban centres – and the city has a lot to offer!
In and around the city centre, you’ll find plenty of options for shopping, dining and entertainment. Further out, there are some lovely suburban areas with spacious homes, good access to schools and a close-knit community feel. Further still, the city gives way to breathtaking scenery, with the Newport Wetlands and Brecon Beacons two primary examples.
Newport is home to several highly sought-after areas, typically in the suburbs or towns and villages surrounding the city. Perched atop a hill overlooking the city, Ridgeway regularly ranks among the top places to live in the city. Caerleon, with its historic roots as an important Roman settlement, is another popular area just outside the city.
If you’re looking for a mix of suburban convenience and countryside charm, Glan Llyn is a newly developed area in the east of Newport with high-quality housing, ample green space and easy access to the city centre.
Newport is generally considered an affordable place to live, especially in comparison to nearby cities like Cardiff and Bristol. House prices tend to be significantly lower than the national average, while living costs are also reasonable, making Newport a popular choice for first-time buyers.
