Grangetown South lies along the western bank of the River Taff, south of Cardiff city centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by terraced housing and modern apartment developments.

The district's geography is defined by water, bordered by the Taff to the east and the Ely River to the west. A notable feature is the extensive tidal mudflats and saltmarsh of the Taff Estuary, which create a stark, open landscape on its eastern edge, contrasting with the built environment.
