Practical advantages

Housing

Property prices in Manchester and the surrounding areas span a wide range, with great options for all budgets. Here you'll find amazing city centre penthouses sitting alongside a huge choice of contemporary apartments, Victorian terraces, semi-detached houses and traditional family homes. So whether you prefer city, suburban or rural living, you'll find the right property in the right location at the right price.

The same can be said of the thriving rental market. Affordable properties are found in abundance in the city centre, surrounding towns and even throughout the countryside - all easily accessible by tram, train and car.

Transport

The commute to work couldn't be simpler. The Metrolink tram network already crosses the city centre to link with surrounding areas, and is currently being expanded to three times its current size. The University is also at the heart of a significant motorway network and easily reached by the reliable, well-connected bus and train transport networks you'd expect of a major city.

Manchester International Airport is just over ten miles from the city centre. One of the largest airports in the UK, you can catch frequent direct flights to major cities across Europe, as well as daily long-haul flights to further afield.
