Catchment is not a promise

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★★ | Mynydd Cynffig Primary and Cynffig Comprehensive in the village, a famous rugby club, Kenfig and the coast for weekends, and good value, a strong family package; check catchments and read the latest reports. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★★★ | Affordable mining-era terraces and homes well below the coast's prices, in a friendly village with schools and sport, one of the better-value ways into Bridgend county; check the property and its mining history. |
| Downsizers & retirees | ★★★★☆ | A friendly, community-minded village with shops, schools and the hospital at Bridgend close by, practical and affordable; check the specific street. |
| Commuters (to Cardiff & Swansea) | ★★★★☆ | No station in the village, but Pyle's main-line station is about a mile away and the M4 (J37) is close, a workable commute at village prices; plan around Pyle. |
| Property developers & investors | ★★★☆☆ | Steady rental demand and value stock offer opportunities, but factor the coal-mining legacy, flood checks on lower ground, and that this is a value rather than a premium market. |
