The location at Media City is perfect for me with my work near by, several restaurants and bars, plus supermarkets and gyms. I love being next to the water on the Quays. I’ve lived here 9 months and I’m still not board of the view.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Parking is probably the only issue and with multi story car parks being built near by- this could bring both pro’s and cons.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

I can not think of anything which would improve it. The development is always clean, tidy, well managed and friendly. Our three bedroom corner apartment has everything we need: lovely modern kitchen including dishwasher, modern bathrooms, perfect bedrooms, great king size beds, fabulous wrap round balcony. It is perfect temperature- not too hot or cold. The apartment was fully furnished with brand new lovely furnishings. I can not think of anything else we need.

The management are brilliant! Always on hand when you need help and incredibly friendly and engaging. Particular shoutout to Del and Jess who are always warm and welcoming and bring good energy to the building.

My only criticism in terms of the interior design is that some things don’t seem to be thought through too well. For example theres a lack of plugs in suitable places in the apartment which makes it difficult to furnish. Some of the finishes are a bit messy in terms of paint work and alignment of cupboards etc. Things do seem to have been rushed. I also don’t understand why the Master Bedrooms do not have the ensuite, surely this would have made more sense? Other than that I love these apartments, the light bright airy space is refreshing and feels like home. You don’t need a place in the sun, you need a place on the quays.

Location is a million percent 5*****. A very safe place to live with security always doing their bit and checking the area regularly. The bars and restaurants are great (when open) and it’s a short walk to the tram so easy access into central Manchester. It’s a lovely vibrant area with lots to do and beautiful landscapes. A very quiet and peaceful place to live. Nothing bad to say about the location.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Parking. The lack of free parking in the area makes it incredibly hard to have friends or family over as it costs an absolute fortune to stay even a few hours. Complimentary parking for residents should be available given the cost of the flats.

What is the best feature of your home:

The view of the quays. The balcony overlooks the quays, ITV and over Trafford. The bright open windows allow for a lot of light which is incredibly refreshing in an apartment. This by far has to be one of my favourite things. It’s a breath of fresh air in comparison to my old flat that had small windows and little light. This is perfect and the balconies are a brilliant size.

The flats themselves are very cozy, the beds are grand and the bathrooms are amazing too. I seriously do love these apartments. I currently live in a 2 bedroom, with my partner and friend and we’re all very happy. There’s enough space for us all to have our own little corner but also have guests over!

Again, if every it gets a bit noise, the windows are very good at noise cancelling. We have the option to have pets which is something I look forward to being able to have!

I am currently a student but looking for full time eployment but I’m still able to pay rent without a hitch (I am splitting with two others) but I do also consider that the gym and internet being included in the price, as well as the location. Needless to say, the rpice is worth it all.

Can’t sing The Green Room’s praises enough!

MediaCity is a really great place to live, it’s super cozy and quaint. Being near water is soothing too and not to mention the great events that go on around here! Only complaint would be sometimes people can be a bit rowdy when coming home from a night out but our building’s windows are almost perfect at sound isolation!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Big pieces of furniture won’t fit, and furniture here can’t be removed so bare that in mind!

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

There’s a small issue with the windows when it’s hot outside the pressure builds which can cause an annoying ‘ticking’ sound as it adjusts but that goes over quickly!

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Media city offers loads of shops including a big outlet mall as well as plenty of food shops and huge variety of restaurants. The tram stop is just a few minutes walking distance from our apartment and they’re really frequent, it’s just a short tram ride to the city centre.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

There’s a built in bin in the kitchen with recycling compartments so don’t worry about buying a bin!

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

I can honestly say there’s nothing I would really change perhaps the only thing is the toilet flush could be a bit stronger but it’s meant to save water which isn’t a bad thing!
