It is bordered by Penclawdd and Fairwood to the south west; Killay North and Killay South to the south; Cockett to the east; and Lower Loughor, Upper Loughor, the Loughor estuary and Kingsbridge to the north.

The village of Gowerton is situated about 4 miles north west of Swansea City Centre. Gowerton is often known as the gateway to the Gower. It is home to four schools. These are Tregŵyr Infants School, Tregŵyr Junior School, Gowerton Comprehensive School and Ysgol Gyfun Gŵyr (Welsh medium comprehensive school)
