There are advantages of renting a house in Cardiff, over renting a flat. You will usually have a private garden, and there aren’t any communal areas to share with other tenants. However, you won’t have a concierge, an on-site gym or electronic gated parking! Whether you would prefer to rent a house or flat in Cardiff will mainly come down to what style of living best suits your requirements.
The types of houses in Cardiff vary hugely by area, and it is
natural to find certain areas being more suitable depending on your
requirements. Houses in Cardiff typically start at two bedroom
houses, and as an example areas that have houses to rent of this
size are in Adamsdown, on the edge of
Cardiff City Centre and City
Gardens in Grangetown.
In contrast to the smaller houses in Cardiff, some areas only have
much larger houses such as Llanbleddian Garden’s and Ruthin Garden’s
in Cathays, although often these large Cardiff houses are split into
individual flats to
rent. If kept as a whole house, these attract students,
as multiple occupancy rental houses.
Even within the same district of Cardiff, the sizes of houses on the
rental market vary hugely, as just a few hundred meters from
Llanbleddian Gardens is Rhymney Street where compact three and four
bedroom houses available for rent will be found.
In Cardiff Bay finding houses available to rent, is harder as many
of the houses are owner occupied, and therefore not available to
rent. There are houses available to rent in Cardiff Bay; however you
will find the majority of rental property is apartments in this
area.
Further out from the centre of Cardiff, and Cardiff Bay the houses
available to rent will vary more, and you will see more detached and
semi-detached houses. The houses available to rent in these areas of
Cardiff will vary more in style, as many of them will have been
built as a one off design, although there are a number of new-build
estates in the suburbs of Cardiff, with rental property available.
