Its always a punt, ive grown up with a few people who have moved up the valleys and been dazzled by the cheaper house prices. The reality is that they become initially isolated. The friends that they have grown up with are not there and you are now in a new area where you know no one and there isn't a great deal to do locally.Originally Posted by mps1
In the valleys you generally commute. So be prepared for that. However living in the valleys myself i wouldn't commute to Aberdare, Mountain Ash or Abercynon for anything because there isnt much of anything in either of these places. If you are from Cardiff you will be commuting into Cardiff.
There are decent and thriving local sports clubs in these areas, so that is something that you can always get involved in if that'd your type of thing.
Generally in my youth the people that moved up the valleys generally moved back closer to Cardiff after a couple of years.
