I live on oriel Gardens and have lived here for over 12 years from the very start of new broughton being built its a good area for schools and transport links to Manchester/bury/Eccles all just a bus ride away ,it's generally a very quiet area no trouble ever ,bins get emptied no problem,traffic noise is very good ,local shops quite convenient there's a nisa open till 10pm barbers/fruit and veg/chemist/pound + what basically sells everything from pots and pans-diy-food-beauty products/there's a Turkish takeaway,the only real problem in my street are the street lights don't work and haven't been fixed for over 2 years and have been reported numerous times. I would certainly recommend the area overall quite a nice place to live also got a church and park right on the door step

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

If I'm honest compared to my old street there's not a lot of community spirit people don't mix like they use to but I think that's how it is now people just stick with themselves and not generally mix

What is the best feature of your home:

The area/location very handy with the local shops and even a lidl supermarket within walking distance there's a health center near by also

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

Close to local shops/pubs and parks so lots to do in the daytime, generally nice aria with not much disturbances at night from local residence or traffic noise, enough parking for everyone out front with extra added on. Close to local transport links and the perfect out of city center distance from Manchester but still walkable

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

There is nothing that comes to mind really! The gates don't work on the entrance to the community so one is left open all the time and one is constantly shut but that's about it

What is the best feature of your home:

Big spacious kitchen/dining room that opens straight up onto the garden along with a garage that opens from the front and the back making it ideal for hosting friends/family

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

There is a rather limited selection of local shops and restaurants available in the area however there is enough to get you by if you need to pop out for some milk. Most properties do have driveways available however street parking tends to be most peoples preference, often clogging up walkways but your never short of a parking space. While being a mostly quiet area as with most places there is the occasional anti-social event, usually local kids being kids. Dog mess is also a common issue across the area

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

The walls between rooms and houses are very thin and don’t provide a great deal of sound proofing, so I would suggest scoping out your neighbours first.

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen is very well fitted and great for those moving with little to no white goods.

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

Excellent immediate facilities for schools, GP, supermarkets, good road links and bus routes, lacking a local train station. The area is predominantly clean and sociable, nice and quiet and good for families and pets with convenient and well maintained parks nearby. There is a shortage of nearby bars and restaurants which is a mixed blessing.

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

Lack of pubs from when we first moved in, however this turned out not to be a problem.

What is the best feature of your home:

The quietness and convenience of the location making it family friendly.

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

Local shops and amenities in vicinity. Walking distance to city centre. Good links to public transport and bus stops close to estate. No problems encountered with bin collections. Very little traffic noise. Lots of people have started to park on the estate to commute into town, making the street quite cramped with vehicles.

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

I wish we had more understanding about the lease hold clauses.

What is the best feature of your home:

The light spacious kitchen and large back garden spac.
