The Aaben is a modern development and as such, facilities like water do not have the problems present in older homes and flats. Both interior and exterior design is great – the red brick exterior makes it stand out without being an eye-sore. Interior design clearly has had a lot of thought, with a good colour-scheme and floorboard texture. The building and property is managed well, with an efficient means of communication with the managers.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The location is fantastic – as a PhD student who works at the University of Manchester, the university is only 10 minutes walk. ASDA Hulme is also only 5 minutes walk, with a coop across the road. The area has seen a lot of development and is aesthetically pleasing in general. There are many bus stops nearby, although the nearest tram station is a 10 minute walk (Deansgate Castlefield) which makes journeys further out a lot longer without car.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Don’t underestimate the location – it’s near everything important without actually being in the city centre. A good location for anyone working or studying at either university.
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
Due to the way the windows were installed, they cannot be opened far without hitting the blind rails. Giving the windows more freedom to pivot would make hot summer days less stuffy.
