Well it is part of Cardiff’s urban area, the conurbation. But the point I was making is that while Canton, for example, has seen its homes decline in value (when adjusted for inflation) a quite similar area, the Cornerswell ward in Penarth (which is still quite working class and includes Cogan and quite a bit of council housing) has had a significant price rise. Home values in Cornerswell are marginally lower than in Canton but they have closed the gap considerably over the last ten years. The only similar ward in Cardiff that has experienced a price rise is Gabalfa, which is a special case as it is sandwiched between the UHW and Cardiff Uni.
The data in my link leads me to believe that Penarth has a cachet over and above that of Cardiff. Isn’t that why you moved to the town? Anyway, I believe that Bayscape will benefit from its proximity to Penarth,
