Cyncoed is a district in the north of the city of Cardiff. Located in the north east of the city, Cyncoed is one of the most affluent suburbs of Cardiff, and of Wales in general. It has some of the highest property prices in Wales. It also surrounds a small village called Lakeside, in which lies one of Cardiff's richest streets and one of the most popular schools.
The area was mainly built in the early twentieth century when Cardiff was expanding rapidly. Housing is a mixture of some very large detached homes and smaller semi-detached buildings. Modern housing estates now surround the area, and some of the original houses have been demolished and replaced by smaller homes.
Features include a small shopping village, a number of churches, a synagogue, because there is a sizable Jewish community living in Cyncoed, and primary schools and secondary schools. It is home to one of the campuses of University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC) and a Cardiff University hall of residence.
Cyncoed Road runs through the Cyncoed region, connecting outer suburbs to the inner city.
Between Cyncoed and Llanishen lie two defunct reservoirs. The company which owns this site, Western Power Distribution, intends to build houses there but this plan is opposed by many residents of the two districts.
Towards the west of the area lies the northern part of Roath Park with its large lake and garden areas. Cardiff High School is located at the north of the area.
