About Manchester Apartments

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

There are some shops nearby such as off-licenses and a retail park around a 15 minute walk away. There’s no bars/restaurants nearby but a few takeaways. Transport links are amazing with bus stops and a tram stop extremely close by. There is also a park across the road. Parking can sometimes be difficult if you want to be right outside the property but never further than a 5 minute walk.

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

We have not raised any issues but the system for reporting any maintenance issues is very easy and efficient.

These apartments couldn’t be better located; centred between Old Trafford Cricket ground and Old Trafford Stadium, the location is perfect for sports fans . Match days bring some extra traffic and noise but it’s minimal. The tram to Manchester is 200yds away and will take you to the city’s bars and nightlife on 10 mins. Nearby are a good range of shops and eateries .

What is the best feature of your home:

Primarely the location and good community as all friends live there

My large 1 bedroom apartment is MUCH smaller that how it was presented in photos. I’d class it as a large studio more than anything. Other people in the building paying the same rent have much bigger apartments than mine, its seems to be luck of the draw on which one you get.

The gym is small but usable. It gets quite cramped when more than 3 people are in at a time.

The outside of the building isn’t the most beautiful thing in the world.

The £200 rise in rent next year is extortionate when compared to other options.

The staff are lovely though, I don’t have a bad word to say about them.

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

It’s fantastic that there’s bus stops on both sides of the building both going to and from the city centre in about 15 minutes. The building is also about 2 minutes away from Trafford Bar tram station.

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

The 3rd lift that is “out of order” has been like that for years. It doesn’t seem like it’ll ever be repaired.

This is not the fault of the amazing staff, but the company that manages the building I’d assume.

I’d like to give a lot of praise to Michael, he’s always in a good mood and more than willing to help all residents.

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

I had an issue with a broken light switch that was resolved very quick, more than happy with this.

The maintaince team (I think they’re brothers) are really nice people, they always do a good job.
