When I lived there I liked it. There was a strong Bangladeshi community vibe...cricket on the street with about 50 people playing, the veg shops were brilliant.
The pubs were pure murder though and then one or two wrong turns and it got a bit crack housey. The far southern end merged into proper old tiger bay. But again this was 20 years ago.
Grangetown is pretty 'up and coming' (eurgh) from what I've heard. Well my mate has just moved there and I think they have some kind of new community 'hub'. Developments have stalled a bit on the old brains site, but they're still going ahead in some form. With that and the new affordable housing and bridge the Council have announced there could be a lot of improvements in the area in the next few years. Canton/Pontcanna: nice but pricey.
