Greater Manchester spot listed in The Times's 20 best places to live if you're under 35
The Times have recently released a list of the 20 best places to live across the UK for the under 35’s.
Sitting at number thirteen is Greater Manchester’s Salford Quays and has been named as the best place to live if you want to meet somebody.
The Times said: “An impressive 48 per cent of residents who live in the revamped waterfront area of Greater Manchester are aged 25-34 years old, the highest proportion in the UK according to data by Nomis, so you’re bound to find someone to have fun with.”
Adding: “There’s nothing particularly cool about the Lowry shopping centre and the selection of bars, restaurants and cafés leans heavily on national chains. But there are plenty of trams, buses and safe walking and cycling routes to get you to the Northern Quarter or the fringes of Ancoats, where you’ll still find some of the city’s famous urban swagger. Two-bedders with gym, concierge, etc, go for about £350,000, less if you buy off-plan or in a less favoured area”
The average house price is looking quite nice too at £187,500 according to Hamptons estate agency using Land Registry data.
