Ravenhill is a residential suburb situated approximately two miles north of Swansea city centre. The area is characterised by its quiet, leafy streets and a mix of housing, primarily from the early to mid-20th century. It is bordered by the expansive grounds of Singleton Park to the south and the university campus, creating a green and settled environment. The neighbourhood serves as a popular home for professionals and families seeking proximity to the city's amenities while maintaining a quieter pace.

The area's layout is defined by its position on a gentle hill, offering views over Swansea Bay from some of its higher points. Local facilities include a few convenience shops and is within walking distance of the comprehensive retail options on Uplands Crescent.
