Offa is an urban community and electoral ward within the county borough of Wrexham in north‑east Wales. Sitting close to the town centre, it comprises a mix of Victorian terraces and more modern housing, local shops, pubs and community facilities, reflecting the town’s industrial growth during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The area has an active local scene with community groups, schools and small businesses and benefits from easy access to Wrexham’s retail and cultural amenities; ongoing regeneration across the borough has brought improvements to streets and public spaces. Its name echoes the historic earthwork of Offa's Dyke, and the neighbourhood forms part of the wider social and economic fabric of the border county.
