Since the redevelopment of the area began in 1991,
Hulme has undergone a complete transformation, with
much of the sixties deck-access housing demolished
and replaced with new houses making it a desirable
place to live with a great location near the city
centre offering affordable housing and plenty of car
parking, gardens and excellent access to the motorway
network. This area is hugely popular for Professionals and
Students alike who want affordable housing and the
City Centre on their doorstep!
Located on the Bridgewater Canal Basin. The best
aspects of Castlefield are its mix of old and
new, its views over shimmering water, its bridges,
viaducts and walkways and its proximity to the
city centre. Media and high tech industries are
based here, including software developers and
radio stations. Residents of apartments in both
restored warehouses and newbuild developments
enjoy panoramic views over water and restored
industrial buildings. With its open public
spaces, including an outdoor events arena,
Castlefield is ideal for festivals, which take
place throughout the year. If you want Canal side
living with good access to the Canal side bars and
the city centre without the cars then this is for
you!
Located in the middle of the City Centre.
During the day the main stretch known as Deansgate
is alive with business suits and rubbing shoulders
with shoppers scanning the designer clothes outlets.
After Dark the dress code around Deansgate becomes
typically smart-casual and the trendiest bars to be
seen in are right here. This is the place to be if
you want to be in the centre of it all.
Close by Piccadilly railway station, Manchester Village consists
of several block of streets, the most famous being
Canal Street which was made famous by the Channel four drama

music, drag queens, karaoke or cabaret you'll find it in the
village. As well as a multitude of chilled out venues to relax
over a latte. It also has great shopping and loads of places
to eat out and party like mad. Opposite the village is
Manchester's famous China Town which is a fabulous place to eat.
Over the years the Village has become an established residential area
with a mixture of renovated old buildings and new purpose
designed apartments. The
UMIST building and the stunning new
Aytoun Library
of the
Business School adds to the real city feeling.

Piccadilly Gardens and traditionally the

residential area with many of the old mills and
warehouses currently being converted into
swanky apartments. The Northern Quarter has also come
alive as an alternative area for trendy bars, clubs
and upmarket restaurants.
Developed as a residential area several years ago on

'North Manchester Regeneration Area'- a special project
set up by the City Council and private company Bellways-
to improve existing housing, build new homes and improve
