Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Manchester

The neighbourhood is OK, not luxurious but close to the city centre and as a result, a very diverse mix of social, racial, circumstantial, professional backgrounds. It does lack social amenities such as restaurants and bars, but there is a beautiful park (Birchfields) and it is a short walk into the city centre. In terms of safety, the street I lived on specifically (Dickenson Rd) could be questionable at times and there was often a man lurking outside my front door asking for money.

The area seems fine. Nice street of houses all maintained by the same agency, clean and nice.

The neighbourhood was centrally located. There was a car park within the block of flats at no extra cost, which was great.

Old Trafford is a decent area to live in. There is a nice chinese takeaway shop and convenience store right next to the flats.

Handy to get the bus. Shops pretty close by. Make sure you lock all doors and windows even when you're in the house.
