Swansea is well served by schools, from pre-school all the way up to university level; Swansea University has a campus on the Swansea Bay seafront, and has recently opened a brand new £450 million campus set over 65 acres on the eastern approach to the city. Locally to Howells' Reach, Parkland Primary School and both Bishop Gore and Olchfa secondary schools are within reach. If you are looking for private education, Ffynone House School and the feeder pre-school Oakleigh House are less than three miles away.
Howells' Reach is ideally located within Swansea, but also has fantastic transport links for exploring beyond the area.
If you commute to work or like to travel, Swansea benefits from good transport links including a direct train line from Swansea to Cardiff, Bristol and London, which is due to be electrified for faster journeys from 2017. The M4, just north of the city, means that Cardiff is less than an hour's drive away.
Just over a mile away from Howells' Reach is Sketty, where you will find everything that you need for your convenience. Both on the main road through Sketty, and on the quieter Eversley Road behind, there is a large selection of eateries including restaurants, cafes, takeaways and a pub. Several other small shops including a bakery, launderette and Post Office can be found in the area.

Derwen Fawr is within 10 minutes drive of the city centre, while the suburbs of Killay, Sketty and Uplands are nearby for everyday shopping needs as well as restaurants, bars and cafés.
Nearby Blackpill is a fantastic family resource, with a large play area, child-friendly beach-side café, the lido for paddling on summer days, and easy access onto both the sandy beach and the cycle path.
For families, this green and peaceful suburb is within walking distance of Parkland Primary School and Olchfa Comprehensive School, both of which are highly regarded locally. Gower College is also within reach. There are beaches and parks nearby, and it's also an easy bus journey or bike ride into the city centre or west towards Mumbles.
Swansea offers residents all the benefits of city living, with great leisure, retail and cultural variety. This includes the renovated leisure centre and water park, a revitalised night-life scene in nearby Uplands and several good shopping centres around the region. The city centre and surrounding area
has benefited greatly from ongoing investment and strategic regeneration, including the proposed Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon.
At the same time, this city-by-the-sea is ideal for those who enjoy an active, sporting or outdoor lifestyle. The Wales National Pool is just a short distance from Howells' Reach, as is the 360 Waterfront Cafe, which offers an exciting array of beach activities and water sports to get hooked on. Keen cyclists will also appreciate not only the beach front cycle path but also the network of bike tracks in Clyne Valley Country Park, which is on the doorstep. Clyne Golf Course is also easily accessible.
Living in west Swansea only makes it easier to get out on to the Gower Peninsula, where the beaches and countryside are second-to-none. Mumbles is also within a short drive, a picturesque former fishing village popular for its independent retail choice, traditional seaside attractions and good selection of bars and eateries. Whether young or old, this location caters for every lifestyle.
