Nice places to live in Manchester?

Question

Hoping to move to Manchester....somewhere to the North of the city (preferably) but not as far as Bolton, but still a decently priced taxi ride away from the city centre. My boyf has lived in Salford b4 (went uni there) but i'm not so sure....want a house with a garden/yard not a swanky city centre apartment or anything. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

google it or yahoo search!! it

Answer 2

I live in Bury, it is about 6 miles away from the centre of Bolton and its a nice area to live. They are starting to build a huge shopping centre and cinema here so it is up and coming area. Bury is in between Bolton and Prestwich. Munki mentioned there and i agree it is a lovely place to live. The people who say Manchester is full of crime are wrong, there are some really nice parts of Manchester to live in.

Answer 3

Parts of Tameside are lovely, but they’re more to the East of Manchester. To be honest, you won't find many nice places to live in North Manchester unless you go up as far as Bury. You’d be better of sticking to East or South.

Answer 4

Fallowfield, Burnage, Didsbury, Withington are some of the area with good amenities and close to the city centre.  Bus route are good every 5 mins you will get buses going towards city centre.  House prices are not too bad as well.

Answer 5

it might have been good as a student but think again .

Answer 6

Prestwich is very posh.

Answer 7

The Heaton park area of Prestwich is very nice,really quiet with lots of amenities and is only a short bus/tram ride from City Centre.There is a low crime rate here compared to the rest of Manchester and it's very family orientated.And there are quite a few small terraced houses with nice yards & gardens up to rent right now.Mail me if you want any info/help.

Answer 8

Salford is OK around the Quays.  Other than that look at Didsbury.  It can be rather posh and up market there.   I know someone who lives in Hulme, close enough to the city centre to walk if you are energetic.  Nice houses and flats.  Lots of young professionals live there now, and it is close to the university.

Here is a link.

Answer 10

Wow i feel sorry for you, Manchester is a horrible placein general! I should know, i was there on Sunday!

Can you not move in to the Trafford Center............now that'd be cool!

Answer 11

Hahaha!  Oh, you've made my day!

Get away from Manchester, stay in the suburbs!

Answer 12

My uncle used to line in Broughton, that was a nice area, plenty shops but not like city centre, lots of green areas, parks etc round there. Have a fly through on googe maps

Answer 13

Manchester is a great place to live as a student, but I wouldn't bother considering living there again. Chorlton (M21) and Didsbury (M20) are *perhaps* worth considering if you insist on living in Manchester. Both neighbourhoods are well connected by bus with the city centre. Otherwise, consider nearby places east of Manchester. Glossop, Hatfield or one of the other villages along this railway are nice and it's only 30 minutes by train to the city centre.
