Understanding the Housing Market in Swansea: Key Facts and Figures

A coastal city on the Gower Peninsula and Wales' second largest urban conurbation, Swansea is named after its founder Kind Sweyn Forkbeard, which somewhat gives away its Viking roots. But while Danes may have founded the city, its roots as a settlement go back much, much further, with evidence to suggest that what is now the city, may have been the first place in the UK, where modern humans set foot. During the industrial revolution, the economic output of the city exploded. It became the world's leading copper-smelting centre, later to also smelt arsenic, zinc, tin, and other metals. Local factories produced tinplated goods and pottery. The port grew also, exporting coal from the Welsh mines and importing ores from around the work. In the years between 1700 and 1800, the population of the city grew by 500% and Swansea became a central cog in the wheel of the British Empire. The days when Swansea was known globally as Copperopolis are well behind it now. Following an all too common pattern, during the 20th century, the post-industrial decline saw the end of most heavy industry in the city, leaving behind the dilapidated remnants of its past. Today, the port is not anywhere near as important as it was in the 19th century but handling £140 million per year in trade, contributing £670 million to the national economy and employing more than 10,000 people, it continues to be at the heart of the city. However, the biggest employers in Swansea are public administration, health, education (including the University that attracts at least 20,000 students per year) and the service and financial sectors. Admiral Group, HSBC, Amazon and Virgin Atlantic are but some of the significant organisations with an important presence. The birthplace and in many ways the muse of Dylan Thomas, Swansea has a rich cultural legacy that it carries forward. Dating back to 1841, the oldest museum in Wales is the Swansea Museum, home to six galleries, an extensive collection of boats and an Egyptian mummy, all housed in a wonderful neo-classical building. The National Waterfront Museum is a celebration of the city's maritime past. The Dylan Thomas Centre celebrates the life of the great poet. The Egypt Centre is exactly as it sounds, holding the university's collection of Egyptian artefacts. The Gower Heritage Centre provides a glimpse into rural life, as it was 800 years ago. There are many venues that host live music and theatre and annual arts festivals that celebrate local culture but a special mention is deserved for the Swansea Air Show, held each July, when visitors can get to see aerobatic displays above Swansea Bay. The city centre is popular for its city-living options and increasingly, for its purpose-built student accommodation. Most of the options, in this area, are in. sky rise blocks or in new builds but there are a fair number of townhouses in the centre as well. Young professionals and those looking for a city lifestyle tend to look for the Maritime Quarter which provides everything from affordable housing to penthouse apartments, well-served by amenities and leisure, within and close by to the district. The areas to the south and the west of the city contain the areas that are most suburban and popular with families, with detached and semi-detached homes and new-build estates. To the north, there are more terraces and generally, cheaper housing. For anyone looking to buy property in Swansea, other areas to consider are Llanelli, Neath and Port Talbut.
