About

Fairwater North sits west of Cardiff city centre and is primarily residential. The area is organised around Fairwater Road, where a small parade of shops, a library and a community centre provide day-to-day services. Housing is a mix of mid-20th-century council terraces, semi-detached homes and low-rise flats, with residential streets fanning out into cul-de-sacs from the central parade. A primary school and local health services are within easy walk for most residents, and regular buses connect the neighbourhood with the city centre and other western suburbs.

Open space and sports facilities are concentrated around Fairwater Park and adjacent playing fields, which host local football matches and informal recreation. Community groups use the park and hall for events and projects, and allotments and planted verges are part of the local street scene. The pattern of streets around the central shopping parade, with short residential spur roads, is a clear marker of the neighbourhood’s post-war layout and helps define how people move and meet within Fairwater North.
