Manchester has become one of the UK’s most desirable places to live.
But, if you're new to the city you might wonder which area is right for you. Below, we explore the neighbourhoods from the centre to the suburbs.
Ancoats
Home to The Halle orchestra, world class restaurants (including a Michelin star) and a scenic marina, Ancoats is steeped in history and having been redeveloped over recent years, now has some beautiful homes available to buy. Renovated mills and listed buildings that once housed the industrial revolution are now the site of luxury apartments and local independent businesses. A truly exciting place to live.
Deansgate
Deansgate is a location rich in history with some parts of the area dating back as far as the Roman empire. Today, it's the heart of the metropolis and is home to the city's tallest buildings, most luxurious stores and busiest nightlife spots.
Chorlton
Chorlton is a popular suburb just a few miles outside of Manchester City Centre. Known for its quirky streak, there’s a strong culture of book shops, art galleries, nightlife and vegetarian eateries. There's also a number of great schools and outdoor spaces making it perfect for families.
Altrincham
On the outskirts of Trafford, Altrincham is one of Manchester’s most sought-after locations for homebuyers. It's on the expensive end of the scale but there’s a wide variety of properties. Choose from evocative cobbled roads of terraced houses, leafy, Victorian estates or a remarkable 1930’s townhouse. There’s also a number of new developments offering 1 & 2 bedroom flats, meaning there’s something for everybody in this particular suburb.
