A guide to living in Manchester

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living in Deansgate Square has been a great experience. The local area is very convenient, with plenty of shops, cafés, restaurants and bars nearby, as well as easy access to the city centre. Transport links are excellent, with Deansgate and Manchester Oxford Road stations close by, plus tram and bus connections within walking distance. The area feels modern, lively and well connected, while still being comfortable to live in. Bin collections and building access are well managed, and I have not had any major issues with noise or anti-social behaviour.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management has always responded very quickly, professionally and kindly to any problems or questions I have raised. Anne-Marie in particular has been outstanding. She is always welcoming, patient and genuinely helpful, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make residents feel supported. Whenever I have needed assistance, she has been quick to respond, clear in her communication and very reassuring. Her positive attitude and professionalism make a real difference to the overall living experience, and she is one of the main reasons the building feels so well managed and friendly.

I wish I had known how helpful and friendly the reception team would be. It makes a real difference day to day, especially when you need quick support or have questions about the building.

Transport couldn’t be closer, everything you need within 100s of metres, shops bars anything! I don’t personally get any traffic / loud behaviour from my flat. I don’t need parking so haven’t looked into this. Bins are so easy with a chute.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Very prompt and all sorted out with no issues, really easy to log issues on the app.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The environment is relatively great. It’s closer to the city centre and access to major facilities such transportation (trams, buses & trains) is within reach. Also, groceries stores are available and could be accessed easily. The environment is peaceful, although my flat is near the main road and the noise disturbs sometimes.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The response has been excellent and timely. Even when it’s not within their purview, they go beyond board to help

- Extremely convenient transport links - notably, The Trilogy is right next to the Cornbrook tram stop which has links to every tramline in Manchester. I'm able to wake up only an hour before my shift starts in City Centre - and it could be even later if I didn't faff about in the morning(!) - Co-op, Tesco Express and Morrisons a short walk away with everything you need - for bigger shops, Sainsburys Salford is only a 15-min walk - Excellent breakfast down the road in The Banyan Tree - open til late for drinks w/ occasional comedy & open mic night! - Cute antiques store next door - Parking on the street for visitors up to 3 hours or public parking down the road for a fiver

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

- Promptly! I've had very few issues with the apartment other than basic wear & tear and mechanical issues, but all have been resolved in good time. - Fast and useful correspondence through the Renters Right Act contract transition.
