Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Manchester

after we fixed everything, apartment was livable
i like the neighborhood but even if it's 5 star hotel standard at cabbage price, i won't rent from this landlord. Been renting and living for years but he is one in a million

Area was fine gated complex on Brookhouse. House was good just last few months of landlady because she got desperate. Now after evicting us to sell property its up for rent.

Not an overly studenty area but had good bus links to both universities + city centre and there was a good choice of nearby supermarkets

Love Ancoats abundance of amazing bars and restaurants and like-minded people, such a buzzing neighbourhood

Good area, lot to do nearby, would be perfect if not for the landlord. Transport links are great.

Great location near the tram stop, walking distance to the Co-op and lots of great restaurants, a post office, and more. I always felt safe there. Feels like a fairly standard new build neighbourhood, but relatively well-integrated into the surroundings.

School across the street a minor nuisance since cars flood the roundabout at 3ish, parking around the roundabout and on double yellows with smelly petrol/diesel engines running!

nice, respectful and always helping. Hulme in general is very bad and dangerous. Never again.

The house is close to a school so during term time you can hear the kids screaming all day (which I did not mind but it might not be for everyone!).
It's close to the park and there are some dodgy people at night!

The area is nice, it's a new build estate with buses right outside. So, it's a real shame everything else is horrendous.

10 minutes from Asda if you're a slow walker, 15 from Lidl. Bit of a dodgy area and wouldn't go outside at night, but it is Manchester. Streets are generally unclean. The area itself is quite quiet except if building work is going on, and the neighbours only complain if you're far too loud on a school night.
